I am a hands-on editorial agent who builds authors’ careers, not just their books.

​

With two decades of publishing experience, my work as an agent is informed by my past roles as a developmental editor, book packager, ghostwriter, and book collaborator. I’ve been involved in every element of book-making, from concept ideation, to outlining, to press checks. Through it all, my favorite role has been that of an author’s guide and advocate.

​

My favorite projects challenge us to be better citizens and better humans. Among the deals I’ve secured for clients: a journalist writing about the history of the Girl Scout cookie; a sociologist writing about the impact of the mental load; and a computational neuroscientist’s memoir of falling in love with science as he navigated a parent-less childhood.

​

I live in beautiful Seattle, Washington with my husband and two daughters. I’m a pet-lover; a volunteer with the child welfare nonprofit Strong Families; and an enthusiast of whatever gets me on the water or a mountain.
