I have over twenty-five years experience in the publishing industry, beginning as a proofreader/copyeditor for Random House as well as working in the magazine and advertising industry.
I've been writing and editing professionally for a long, long time and have published two novels, TELL ME HOW THIS ENDS WELL (Crown Books, Hogarth, 2017) and ANTONIA LIVELY BREAKS THE SILENCE (Algonquin Books, 2013), as well as a collection of stories, MOST OF US ARE HERE AGAINST OUR WILL (Viking Penguin, 2005). I've helped several authors, such as Michael Thomas, Dale Peck, and Lisa Dierbeck, edit their novels until they're polished and ready for the market. A client of mine just sold his first novel, GREENLAND, to HarperCollins. Another client went on to win the IMPAC, an international literary award from Dublin, for his novel, MAN GONE DOWN.
As a writer myself, I know the ins and outs of plotting a successful novel and how hard it is to get your book where you want it. I offer different levels of editorial service, depending on a client's needs. I'm just as comfortable copyediting as I am editing developmentally, taking apart your manuscript scene by scene to help you see what's working and what's not working quite yet. Whatever issue you're having and no matter where you are in the process, I can show you how to move your plot and story forward and finish what you started or begin anew with a revision.
I've helped writers throughout every stage of the editorial process and have shepherded many books to market.
