Additional details available at LinkedIn.

In my five years acquiring and editing at Pegasus Books, I had the great pleasure of working on over 50 fiction and nonfiction titles. I then acquired, edited, and helped develop original webnovel ideas at Tapas Entertainment, and worked on nonfiction titles for the Epic Ink imprint (among others) at Quarto. I’ve also been a freelance editor for Crooked Lane Books/Alcove Press and Radish Fiction, as well as working with individual authors through Reedsy.

In May 2025, I graduated with an MFA in Popular Fiction Writing and Publishing from Emerson College. As of July 2025, I’m a full-time editor at Crooked Lane/Alcove Press, focusing on acquiring adult fiction in the romantasy, romance, sci-fi/fantasy, and horror genres.

Below are some of my greatest successes from my career. I always like to say I’ll read any genre once, but I especially love——and have so far had the most editorial experience with——crime fiction, from traditional mysteries to noir stories to espionage thrillers. I adore genre fiction! On the nonfiction side, I enjoy biographies, memoirs, narrative history, and true crime.

Basically, if it has a spy, a royal, a superhero, or a Hollywood personality in it, I’ll probably be interested.
