Introduction

I am a writer, editor, and librarian in Nashville, TN. Her work has appeared in The Rumpus, Puerto del Sol, Washington Square Review, Carolina Quarterly, Texas Highways, and more. My fiction has been nominated for Best Small Fictions (Pidgeonholes), a Pushcart Prize (Natural Bridge Journal), and listed as notable in Best American Essays 2023. I have been writing, editing, and working as a youth librarian for over ten years. I am no stranger to a first draft and love participating in critique circles.

I specialize in copywriting, copyediting, fact checking, research, proofreading, submission packets and consultation, developmental editing and literary coaching for manuscripts, and manuscript evaluation with specific expertise in literary fiction for adults, as well as children’s, middle grade, and young adult fiction.

I pride myself on providing thorough, honest, and kind feedback with an eye for potential and opportunities for growth. I know what it’s like to be in the trenches and I look forward to being in the trenches with you.
