Other Work History
I have been having a love affair with books since 2001—most people would simply call it a career. Creating books is a true calling because I believe they are the most empowering, humanistic, and life-changing communication method in existence.
My undergraduate degrees are in writing and psychology, which many consider to be at the heart of my offerings. I am a craftsperson, first and foremost, who can support clients so that the journey is collaborative and creative.
A master of publishing degree launched me into the world of professional bookmaking. I have worked as a literary agent and performed many in-house editorial roles doing acquisitions, content development, and production.
In 2015, I devoted my expertise to working directly with freelance clients. While I have worked with hundreds of manuscripts during this love affair, I average 25 book projects a year. I'd love to apply my experience to your book.
