Professional Experience

A former Senior Editor for major New York publishers I have edited New York Times bestselling women's commercial fiction, "chick lit," memoir and pop culture. I am available for content editing and manuscript evaluation. I love to work closely with an author to create a complete, dynamic book. Some of my authors/projects have included books by Kate Morgenroth, Louise Shaffer, Bev Marshall, Judy Larsen, Steven Cojocaru, Clare Naylor, Monica McInerney, Leonard Maltin, The Bride's Wedding Planner, and Gemma Townley.
