I am offering editorial services for middle-grade, YA, and picture book authors across genres. I was formerly an editorial assistant at a children’s imprint of a Big 5 publishing house, and have worked with debut, bestselling, and award-winning authors and books. In addition to my time at a publishing house, I was a book blogger for over seven years, which has given me great insight into the kidlit market over the years. I strive to be collaborative and accessible as an editor, and am especially keen on working with writers from marginalized backgrounds and from the global south
