I love working with writers.

I bring nearly two decades of book publishing experience to my collaborations, along with great respect for authors and artists.

As a senior editor at HarperCollins and as an editor at Disney-Hyperion and Scholastic, I’ve been honored to work with talented authors and illustrators on a wide range of fiction. The shelves of books I’ve edited include picture books, early readers, chapter books, and numerous middle grade and young adult novels—from lush fantasies and intricately plotted mysteries to contemporary love stories and madcap classroom comedies.  

My authors’ books have been #1 New York Times bestsellers, Edgar Award nominees, and New York Times Notable books, and have earned multiple starred reviews. Nothing is more satisfying to me than helping writers radically transform their work by reaching a deeper understanding of their craft.
