I have written a book about creative women, edited an anthology about scars, and written longform and flash nonfiction on topics including infant loss, medical trauma, motherhood, disability, friendship, and preserving beets. I love interviewing writers about their work.
My recent creative nonfiction can be found in The Sun, Brevity, HuffPost Personal, Short Reads, Brevity Blog, and Article Club podcast. My essays have been named Notable in The Best American Essays and nominated for a Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net. You can find out more about my writing here.
Need an experienced editor or creative mentor?
Experience editing more than 100 books and hundreds of essays by writers at all levels informs me as I work energetically and thoughtfully. The editorial relationship requires enormous trust, and I pride myself on treating writers, their work, and their deadlines with deep respect. Whether a writer seeks a general conversation about a body of work, direction on a specific element of a personal essay, line edits for a memoir in its final stages, deadlines or staying accountable, advice about how to create an anthology, or advice regarding where to submit a children's book, or anything in between, I feel honored to be a trusted partner in the process.
