In my final semester at Lipscomb University, I worked as an intern at Thomas Nelson Publishers—and couldn’t believe my good luck in gaining (A) a paid internship and (B) close proximity to the words of published authors.

In the years since, I’ve worked as an editor for HarperCollins, specializing in four-color products like children’s books, gift books and lifestyle books, and branched off into freelance writing and editing a decade ago. In addition to my Big 5 publishing clients, I’ve been fortunate to work with talented folks like New York Times bestselling thriller author J.T. Ellison, founder of the Simplified brand Emily Ley, and the women-owned production company Four Eyes Media.


💡 Some FYIs about my work:

• My favorite projects involve helping new authors share their stories, editing (and, c’mon, recipe testing!) cookbooks, being involved in any stage of a children’s book, and leaving a silly comment or two in a serious copy edit.
  

• Whether I’m ghostwriting or editing, I have an ear for capturing and maintaining an author’s voice. Trust me, when we’re done collaborating, your book will sound just like you!
  

• I have a particular affinity for women’s stories—older, younger, in-between, I’m captivated by them all.
  

• I’m fluent in the languages of the general and Christian markets.

As you’re reading this, I’m probably reading something too. Either that, or I’m making tacos in my tiny kitchen, petting a greyhound, watching Succession or Schitt’s Creek, or road tripping to another new-to-me place. There is definitely a cup of tea nearby.
