About

Over the past 30 years, I've helped bring hundreds of books to publication, including some that landed on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.I also work with writers, businesses, and organizations on books, articles, training materials, and more.I care about your voice and your vision, and I’ll tell you honestly where the writing could be stronger, whether that means untangling a sentence or flagging a spot where the reader might get lost.
