ABOUT

Writing a book is a great way to share your insight and expertise with the world, become a thought leader in your field, and simply connect with others by sharing your story. Whatever your motivation for writing a book, I’m here to help you perfectly capture who you are and what you know.

I’ve always been an avid reader, and I’ve enjoyed writing ever since I first put “chubby” pencil to wide-ruled paper. So, it’s not surprising that I’ve built a career that has allowed me to do a whole lot of both. 

In my 18-year career, I’ve put my writing and editing skills to work for nonfiction book authors, B2B and B2C corporations, business owners, professional speakers, and even political candidates. I’ve worked at a boutique PR firm that specializes in representing nonfiction book authors, an SEO-focused digital marketing agency, and as a freelance copywriter and editor.

I have extensive experience ghostwriting and editing nonfiction books and working on their promotional campaigns. I’ve also ghostwritten and edited other long-form content, including bylined articles, white papers, and case studies, and I’ve written book promotional materials, such as press releases, media pitches, and web content.

As an editor, my primary goal is to provide the honest feedback necessary for you to achieve your book writing goals. I always strive to be a straightforward, but empathetic, collaborator. Whether you plan to self-publish or seek a traditional publisher, I can help. The primary services I provide are:

  • Developmental Editing 
  • Book Outline Development 
  • Book Proposal Development and Editing
  • Copy Editing/Line Editing

One of my favorite things about nonfiction book editing is having the opportunity to learn other people’s stories and the honor of helping them guide others by sharing their knowledge and lived experience. From start to finish, I’ll be focused on helping you produce a book that perfectly showcases your passion and expertise.

I have a B.A. in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I’m a Tar Heel born and bred based in Asheville, NC.

In addition to reading and writing, in my downtime, I love to hang out in Asheville’s amazing parks with my dog, Babe, do a weekly pub trivia night, and travel far, wide, and close to home—learning as much as I can from the people I meet along the way.
