About Me

I spent more than twenty years as an executive editor in Big5 publishing, editing commercial fiction at HarperCollins Publishers, Penguin Random House, and Macmillan, including running a successful genre imprint for HarperCollins for twelve years. 

Some of the many bestselling and award-winning authors I have worked with include Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, Susan Dennard, Richard Kadrey, Zen Cho, S. L. Huang, Shelley Parker-Chan, Vicki Pettersson, Rita Woods, Katie McGarry, Eric van Lustbader, Mary Stewart, Brom, and Genevieve Cogman, among others.

 Now I work directly with  clients, helping authors shape manuscripts and stories at all levels, from New York Times bestselling authors and publishing  houses to agencies to independent authors and new writers. I specialize in commercial/genre fiction —science fiction, fantasy, paranormal romance, thrillers, young adult, historicals—and select narrative nonfiction, editing and publishing consulting at all levels, and IP and content creation for select packagers and creators.

I love commercial genre fiction (adult & young adult)—the smart, well-written beach read is my jam. Spaceships, explosions, smooching... or smooching on exploding spaceships !—I love it all.  

When not freelancing I love travel, diving (AKA I freelance for plane tickets & dives), art & architecture, martial arts (3 black belts), nature/animals, and photography. I watch too many Asian dramas, and am a proud Army Member (BTS!). She/her.
