Editorial Services
I have spent more than 15 years editing books for a wide range of readers across formats and genres.
Find out more about me and my books!
Right now I am most interested in consulting. See below for some examples, or feel free to reach out.
When my docket is full, I also recommend these other freelancers.
Transparency for new writers and illustrators
Before you dive deep into revisions (or put aside your project and start anew), it's good to know whether you're on the right track!
I'll review your pitch letter and a portion of your project and advise on market positioning, audience, editorial readiness, and whether your book is likely to stand out from the pack. I'm also available for calls to discuss any questions about the publishing industry and marketplace. I'm here to make the book world and process feel a little less opaque and give you professional context and guidance as you take your next steps.
High-level strategy consulting
With nearly two decades in publishing and experience across multiple departments, Big 5, small houses, international houses, and management, I can help companies brainstorm expansion or improvement in new publishing categories (or in the US as a new country), find excellent staff and freelance help, pitch their program for external funding, investigate special sales opportunities, and/or review anything else that isn't working.
Build a bookshelf or book club for your org
I love helping nonprofits and other businesses bulk up their literary offerings.
I've created book lists around specific topic areas and audience needs, launched and facilitated book clubs for all ages, collected low-cost books, and helped folks build office/center libraries. Please do reach out with any needs.
Strategy chats for seasoned authors
Are you hitting a rut in your career or feeling like you're being ignored by your team? Happy to chat about your publishing journey so far, confusing feedback, the current marketplace, what you're projecting online, or anything else that's on your mind.
