I’m an editor, writer, and creative collaborator with over fifteen years of experience in the publishing industry. I’ve worked as an in-house editor at HarperCollins Publishers, Quirk Books, and Simon and Schuster, where I acquired and edited bestselling fiction for children and adults. Most recently, I was Editorial Director of Children’s at Quirk Books. My authors’ books have been New York Times and USA Today bestsellers, earned awards, Junior Library Guild selections and starred reviews, and been translated into many languages. You can check out my Portfolio page for examples of the books I’ve developed, acquired, and edited.

I work with creators in all stages, from debut writers to bestselling authors with decades of experience, and have worked with brands like Spotify and Hearth on a project basis. I’m passionate about the power of storytelling and helping writers share the stories only they could tell. I live for the thrill of a zingy brainstorm session, a gorgeous line that illuminates my world in a new way, and that moment when all of the plot threads click into place.

I was born and raised near Syracuse, NY, called New York City home for a decade, and lived in Philadelphia for a few years after that. I now live and work in the beautiful Hudson Valley with my family, in a 120-year old home overflowing with books.
