Overview
I'm a freelance editor with ten years of experience: six freelance, and four at a major NY publishing house, where I acquired, edited, and directed the publication of more than 40 novels. I specialize in genre fiction, especially romance, women's fiction, and mystery, and have edited everyone from self-published authors just getting their start to New York Times bestsellers. Notable authors I have edited include USA Today bestseller Sarina Bowen, RITA-nominated romance author Alyssa Alexander, and NYT-bestselling mystery author Krista Davis.
