Many publishers look for "literary quality with commercial appeal," and that's exactly my "both barrels" approach to your project. Query feedback and market analysis of your project are included with every edit. I also bring my background as a literary agent to the table. I believe this is a very powerful way to hook readers into your story. My specialty is interiority, or rendering a character's perspective on the page. My approach is extremely comprehensive, with a deep focus on character, voice, plot, and other elements of the writing craft. While I'm best known for editing children's books (picture books, middle grade, young adult), I work in all fiction categories and genres, as well as memoir. I bring over a decade of publishing industry experience to every edit. My book, Writing Irresistible Kidlit, a writing reference guide for middle grade and young adult writers, is available from Writer's Digest Books. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing and have worked at Chronicle Books, the Andrea Brown Literary Agency, and Movable Type Management. I'm a former literary agent and provide consulting and developmental editing services to writers of all categories and genres, working on children’s book projects from picture book to young adult, and all kinds of trade market literature, including fantasy, sci-fi, romance and memoir.
