As an Autistic story editor, it brings me great joy to work with Neurodivergent and otherwise marginalized and genre-expanding speculative fiction authors.
Â
I delight especially in helping horror and science fiction novelists convert readers to fans: by pulling story elements like characterization and worldbuilding into tighter resonance with your themes and vision, I give books the kind of staying power that keeps readers coming back. My feedback will help your next draft build you a sustainable career.
Â
I first began work with individual clients in 2016, but you can find me in literary magazine mastheads dating back to 2009. Along the way, I’ve earned a Fulbright teaching grant, as well as degrees in Creative Writing, English Literature, and an interdisciplinary MA from NYU that focused on horror studies and philosophies of emotion.
Â
In the years since then, I have continually developed my editorial and craft expertise through workshops, conferences, and master classes offered by Editors Canada, the Editorial Freelancers Association, and others.
Â
Most valuable and thrilling of all has been the hands-on experience with authors and their novels, whether they publish independently or through traditional paths.
