Most of us write alone, but the process of polishing, perfecting and ultimately publishing a novel is a collaborative effort. As an editor, writer, and teacher of children’s fiction, I sit on both sides of the desk. In my experience, good editing can make the difference between a manuscript that's accepted or rejected. Don't submit your manuscript to an agent or editor before it's ready.

With an MFA in creative writing and years of editing experience, I bring critical analytical skills, an extensive knowledge of craft and a passion for storytelling to my role as mentor and consultant to other writers.

Whether you’re working on a short story, chapter book, middle grade or young adult novel, I can help you make your book the best it can be.
