Process

  1. Send me a sample of the writing you are working on. (It doesn't have to be perfect or finished.)

  2. I'll review it and send back a 1-2 page example of how I would edit it or a query letter of what it needs for further development.

  3. You decide if you'd like to hire me.

My Qualifications

I have worked for the past two years at a literary agency in Austin, Texas, as an editor and writer. I have provided editorial assistance within Chicago Manual of Style guidelines such as substantive editing, copyediting, line editing, proofing, and written the back cover copy for many professionally published books. I mainly have experience working with non-fiction manuscripts, from business books to entertainment and sports memoirs to Christian literature/self-help.

I have also written over 75 book proposals that have received 5 or 6-figure advances from the publishing houses of Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Random House, and Simon & Schuster. Prior to my current job, I worked as Editor and Chief of a newspaper, reporting, writing, and editing in AP Style. I am passionate about sharing stories that have the ability to make an impact on lives for the better and will do a thorough job to get any manuscript to where it needs to be for success.
