Making Strong Ideas Into Even Stronger Books

My 20+ year career spans top educational publishers, Big Five imprints, mission-driven organizations, and global production partnerships. I offer development editing, book coaching, and proposal development, specializing in business and education leadership. I'm also delighted to take on contract writing for children’s nonfiction, fiction, and IP content.

Editorial and Writing
Consulting

I have extensive leadership and hands-on experience overseeing large-scale efforts to expand equitable access to content. I advise publishers and mission-driven organizations on accessibility strategy, workflow, and standards implementation.

I've led workflow and systems improvement at global organizations and managed international full-service providers such as Straive, MPS, Thomson, and Toppan Lee Fung. I help publishers improve vendor communications, outcomes, and quality.
