I'm an independent developmental book editor and publishing consultant with a decade of experience in book publishing. My career started in editorial roles at Henry Holt & Company (an imprint of Macmillan), The Book Group literary agency, and Ballantine Books (an imprint of Penguin Random House), where I worked with debut and bestselling authors. Since 2020, I've been sharing weekly writing and publishing insights on YouTube to help authors at all stages of their careers make their stories stronger.
