I am an independent book editor with more than thirty years’ experience in New York publishing as an editor, editorial director, and freelance editor and writer. I work with both experienced and first-time authors to develop and polish manuscripts, shape proposals, and make their work more marketable. I have edited books in a wide variety of categories, both fiction and nonfiction, and have particular affinities for narrative, voice, and humor. And memoir. And popular culture. And creativity. And, well, a lot of things. Or we can leave the page like this.
