As a literary agent, I’ve reviewed thousands of queries and first pages. I know what it takes to make a book stand out. From query critiques to full manuscript developmental editing, I can help refine your writing by evaluating your story for voice, structure, and pacing, as well as overall marketability. I will review your characters and language to be sure they progress the story. My editing style is encouraging with compliments on what is working, thought-provoking questions, and actionable ways to improve.

About Me
I’m a former literary agent and have worked in the publishing industry since 2017 interning with publishers and literary agencies. I have a Bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Creative Writing and Education. As an agent, I edited and sold books to Beaming Books, Simon&Schuster, and HarperCollins. I love seeing a book come to life on the page and helping writers pursue their dream of writing a children’s book!
