Hey There

I'm a book coach, editor, and published author with over 20 years of experience in both technical and creative writing. I’ve helped more than 120 authors—many of them working on multi-book series—bring their manuscripts to life and prepare them for publication. I know how challenging and rewarding the writing journey can be because I’m on it myself. I’ve published one novel and am currently working on my second.

​

I hold a bachelor’s degree in English with a concentration in Nonfiction Writing and Editing from George Mason University and a master’s degree in Publishing with a concentration in Editing from George Washington University. My background gives me a strong foundation in both the craft and business of writing—allowing me to guide authors from concept to polished draft with clarity, insight, and care.

​

Helping writers move from stuck to inspired is my life’s purpose. I specialize in working with thoughtful, motivated authors who are ready to push through resistance and do the deep, satisfying work of finishing their book. I believe that stories change lives—and that writing yours should change you, too.

​

When I’m not deep in manuscripts, you’ll find me painting, behind the camera lens, or curled up with my dog and a good book. I live just outside Baltimore, Maryland with my husband and our pup, and I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by words, creativity, and people who believe in the power of story.
