Developmental Editing

I love working with writers (and non-writers​,​ as happens from time) at the earliest stages of a project. Developmental editing can start when a future book is a just collection of notes and a vague hope of what it will communicate—and accomplish—once out in the world. That said​,​ I'm here on EDITH because I'm the founder​,​ and very eager to answer any questions you have about how it works​,​ and field your suggestions for improvements. So please​,​ please​,​ please feel free to get in touch.

Book-relevant education or training

I studied history, with a concentration in women's history and 19th and 20th century social movements. History is a discipline focused on assembling evidence and laying it out in a compelling fashion, and as such proved a great foundation for editing and writing narrative nonfiction. Also: I've five years of in-house editorial experience at major New York publishing houses, and have authored two books of my own, ghostwritten another, and curated and edited multiple anthologies.
