I'm a freelance editor based in Los Angeles with nearly a decade of experience at major publishing houses and literary agencies.
I began my career with internships at the independent publishing house Overlook Press and Simon & Schuster’s literary children’s imprint, Atheneum, before attending The Iowa Writers’ Workshop, where I was the recipient of an Iowa Arts Fellowship. From 2012-2019, I worked at the literary agency McCormick Literary. During my time there, I edited books and nonfiction proposals across an array of genres, including literary and commercial fiction, young adult fiction, cookbooks, memoir, and narrative nonfiction.
The books I’ve edited have been named to “Best of the Year” lists by The New York Times, The New Yorker, NPR, Library Journal, the New York Public Library, and Harper’s Bazaar; been on New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post bestseller lists, and been shortlisted for and won prestigious awards.
