Portfolio

Editorial Expertise

With more than twenty-five years of experience in children’s publishing—including over a decade in the trenches at a Big Five publisher—I know the ins and outs of how to craft a query letter, how to find the right agent, and, most importantly, how to develop a manuscript into the best possible version of itself. And sometimes my four-legged editorial assistant even helps!
