Novel Editing

As a lover of stories, few things are more satisfying than helping a writer bring their work up to snuff. With five years under my belt within the publishing industry, the majority being at Penguin Random House, I know what it takes to kick a work into the next gear. From sci-fi to romance, contemporary to historical, my experience and keen editorial eye make me a great fit for a wide range of projects and collaborators. Whether you’re a writer looking to get an outside perspective or an agent looking to get a client’s work ready for sub, I’m excited to work with you!
