Editing

I am a nonfiction book proposal and manuscript editor with decades of experience. I’ve worked with a range of authors, from New York Times acclaimed author and producer Kathy McCabe ("Dream of Italy," PBS), a Rhodes Scholar seeking to shake his academic style for a mainstream memoir, and many first-time authors with exceptional concepts and work ethics.

Students in my workshops at Johns Hopkins and Yale's Summer Writing Program have published award-winning books in science, memoir, young adult fiction and nonfiction, and biography.
