There are three ways I can help you:

• An editorial assessment that will tell you how "publication-ready" your book is and provide recommendations for moving towards publication
• Developmental and/or line edits for writers who want their manuscript marked up so they can start revising
• Book coaching programs for writers who want guidance and accountability to help them get their book across the finish line

I work in both fiction and nonfiction. My specialties include:

• Memoir
• Character-driven genre fiction
• Quirky, accessible nonfiction
• Business books that don't repeat themselves over and over
• Christian nonfiction

I have worked in publishing for nearly a decade. During this time I've held a variety of roles: order fulfillment, sales & marketing, product development, ghostwriting, book coaching, and editing. While I specialize in book coaching and developmental editing, this breadth of experience equips me to guide clients through the ups and downs of writing a book.

After working for a boutique publisher for three years, I took a twelve-year detour in the corporate world to work as a project manager. This unconventional path has been an asset to my current work as a book coach and editor: I’m able to deliver unique structure to my book projects and operate in an organized fashion to ensure that I meet deadlines.

In 2021, I returned to the world of writing and publishing. Since then I’ve worked with numerous professionals on both fiction and nonfiction projects.

My nonfiction clients are coaches, consultants, and professional speakers who have something unique to offer the world. Sometimes, that's their expertise and research. Other times, it's their story. In both cases I help them discover their true voice and organize their message into a clear, compelling book.

My fiction clients write in a variety of genres, including YA fantasy, urban fantasy, horror, vampire novels, and magic realism. What they have in common is a desire to tell character-driven stories. They want to give their readers an experience with relatable protagonists who experience real challenges and growth.

I also write for myself. In 2009 I published Blue Ice and Other Stories from the Rink, a collection of short fiction about hockey. In 2025, I self-published a workbook for writers titled Embrace Your Writer’s Block: Ten Steps to Breathe New Life into Your Writing Project. I’m currently working on my next book, tentatively titled The Thrill of Writing.
