One of my favorite things about being an editor is working with writers of all levels to help them fully express their ideas. I’ve nurtured first-time writers as well as edited the work of established authors such as Ann Bauer, Susan Choi, Jodi Picoult, Marina Budhos, Katie Roiphe, Lucinda Rosenfeld, Nina de Gramont, Emily Listfield, and many others.

Magazine pitch consulting
After 15 years as an editor and writer for many of the biggest consumer magazines on the market, I know the difference between a pitch that jumps off the page and begs to be published and one that gets a form rejection. I can help you target publications, refine pitches, and tap into my extensive network of magazine contacts.
Ghostwriting
You’ve got a great idea; I can help you make it happen. I will work with you to get your memoir or nonfiction work on paper, in your words and your voice.
