A hands-on book editor and writer with more than sixteen years of New York trade publishing experience
For the last six and a half years I’ve been a Senior Editor at Simon & Schuster’s boutique entertainment and pop culture imprint, Simon Spotlight Entertainment (SSE), and Gallery Books, where I acquired and edited such bestselling titles as Greg Behrendt and Liz Tucillo’s phenomenon He’s Just Not That Into You, sTORI telling by Tori Spelling, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, It Sucked and then I Cried by Heather B. Armstrong, and Tim Gunn’s upcoming Gunn’s Golden Rules.
I know what editors, agents, and readers are looking for in today’s market and how to steer big ideas into even bigger books. My unique background and skill set—I’ve worked for major publishers, a leading literary agency, and been twice published—offer insightful and empathetic guidance from developed concept to demystified publication. Whether you are a first-time author or a seasoned pro, I give each project my thoughtful, undivided attention.

- Resourceful and diplomatic.
- Flexible style and knowledgeable in a wide field of interests.
“My Editorial Husband. Without you this process wouldn’t be as fun or seamless. Thanks for getting me. You are my written ROCK.” — Tori Spelling, actress/author of sTORI telling, Mommywood, and the upcoming uncharted terriTORI
