Professional Experience

With more than twenty years of experience in children's publishing, I offer a wide range of services for authors, publishers, and literary agents. I have extensive experience editing picture books, nonfiction for all ages, and middle grade and young adult novels. I’m also the author of three picture books, which gives me a unique perspective on the world of children’s publishing.
