At wordhaven, I help people develop their written voice so it is true to who they are and craft their best possible book. I left my long-time job in publishing because I wanted to go much deeper into the books I work on than traditional publishing allows. As an editor at a publishing house, I acquired, edited, and managed an enormous number of books at a time. My time in publishing was exciting, always full-tilt, and I felt incredibly devoted to the books I worked on, but I yearned to slow down the process and partner with authors in a deeper way to help them develop their best book possible. Traditional publishing gave me a ton of insider knowledge about the market, the industry, and how both agents and editorial teams will evaluate your manuscript. Now, as a freelance editor and writer, I bring that knowledge with me in order to give your book the time it deserves so that it is polished, compelling, and memorable for editors, agents, and audiences alike.

When we first meet, I will get to know you—your voice and your story beyond the book. I believe the connection and trust between author and editor are key to getting your best book out onto the page. I tailor the process of how we work together to your best working style. There are a number of ways to get the best book draft out of a writer. I’ll work with you to find yours.  The collaboration between editor and author can be a tremendously creative and magical endeavor—and I look forward to working with you to bring your book—one that will excite audiences—to life.
