Description of Services
I edit non-fiction and fiction, and I ghostwrite narrative non-fiction. With manuscripts and proposals alike, I offer big-picture structural and conceptual help, detailed line-editing, and everything in between. I'm interested in helping writers cultivate their voices and craft strong, precise prose in order to tell fluid and absorbing stories. After a decade acquiring and editing books at a major publishing house and another decade working in a freelance capacity with many authors and literary agents, I have a clear sense of what publishers are looking for, and find enormous satisfaction in helping writers ready their manuscripts to go out into the world.
​
As an editor, I can help you wherever you are in the process of writing your book, whether it's developing the concept and structure, drafting a proposal, restructuring the manuscript, or polishing sentences and paragraphs for clarity and style. As a ghostwriter, I work with authors to generate raw material, then I turn it into engaging prose and a finished manuscript.
