I am a professional freelance editor with thirteen years of experience. Nowadays I am primarily a YouTuber helping aspiring writers learn novel writing from the absolute basics to professional-level skills.

I started editing full time in 2011 and began working shortly after as an editor with Musa Publishing where I was quickly promoted to head editor of Musa’s middle grade imprint. I left Musa in 2012 to freelance full time. Since then I have worked with about 150 writers per year as an editor, writing coach, and plot consultant.

My clients are represented at a number of agencies, including The Unter Agency, Irene Goodman Literary Agency, and Upstart Crow Literary. My clients have published with Katherine Tegen Books, The Wild Rose Press, and many have launched successful self-publishing careers. I have a bachelor’s degree in communications with a focus on writing from the University of Cincinnati.

When I’m not editing, making videos, or chatting on the Patreon Discord, I enjoy cooking and tasting recipes from around the world, trying my hand at a variety of craft projects, working on our annual Halloween display, and spending time with my husband and my nine-year-old poodle Toby.
