• I’ve been a full-time freelance editor since April 2023.

  • I work with both authors and publishers.

  • I studied journalism. I’m familiar with CMOS and AP guidelines, as well as American, Australian, British, and Canadian English. I’m an active member of ACES, EFA, and CIEP.

  • Working with a variety of genres keeps me sharp and inspired. Send me your pacey and character-driven plots! We’ll work out whether we’re a good fit during the sample edit.

  • That ^ being said, as a reader, I most often reach for: magical realism, speculative fiction, thriller, historical fiction, and fantasy. I love perfectly executed dual timelines and multi-POVs.

  • (Obviously) I believe AI belongs nowhere near art.

  • When I’m not editing, I love traveling, hiking, and secondhand or antique shopping.

  • I’m a thirty-something-year-old American living in the Black Forest region of Germany with my husband, our one-year-old daughter, and my two editorial assistants (read: cats).
