I just received this lovely glass stacked books teacup and heavy weighted velvet emerald-green blanket for my birthday! Feeling special today. I can't wait to sip out of this beauty while curled up safe under this heavy comforter.

The #1 thing authors don’t see is how much time & technique goes into editing. Editing is a lot more than just looking for typos. There’s a plethora of analyses that I do for each level of editing!

Would you like to read a book by this year's Nobel Prize in Literature winner László Krasznahorkai? I recommend 𝘈 𝘔𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩, 𝘢 𝘓𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩, 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘦𝘴𝘵, 𝘢 𝘙𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘴𝘵, inspired by his journeys to China and Japan about the search for a secret garden.

My Editing Philosophy:
I have a very goals-focused approach to editing. I ensure that your writing is not only technically correct, but matches the style, voice, & general vibe that you want it to!

I love acquisitions. I find myself turning down more manuscripts, for the wonderful reason that I’m brought more amazing manuscripts! I don’t enjoy saying no, but it's fun to say yes!

Being on the computer doesn’t mean being stuck inside. My favorite place to edit is outside in my backyard. I have a small table under a gazebo overlooking my koi pond, complete with Wi-Fi.

I initially thought I would become a writer, but I realized that my true passion lies in helping others to tell their stories.

I had so much fun at the Pop-up Typewriter Museum at my favorite local bookstore @island.books ! For a couple days, the sounds of happy typing, giggles, and "Oh!"s filled the store with vintage vibe.

As a book lover who likes paper books, I also like to give back to organizations that help keep our trees and forests healthy. Please consider supporting the Arbor Day Foundation so we have plenty of trees for clean air and paper for books! 🌲📚

Would you like to produce an audiobook?
I've found my new go-to audiobook company. I was impressed by their proofing process and author relationships they discussed at an audiobooks panel at Worldcon:
