About Me

As a lifelong, voracious reader and learner, words are in my bones! When I was a child, my mother occasionally refused to buy me books when we were out shopping, because I usually finished reading them in the car before we even made it home.

After 30 years working in arts administration, and technology sales and management, I returned to my first true love – words! My broad work and life experience has given me insight and expertise in a number of fields, including music, arts and crafts, gardening, animal training and welfare, business and people management, and academic writing.

In the world of fiction, I adore working with fantasy, literary, and historical fiction authors.

The written word, used masterfully, is transformative. It teaches, it moves, it transports us out of space and time. As an editor, my role is to work with my clients so that their words deliver the experience they dreamed of.
