Editing

For thirteen years, I worked as an editor at Philomel, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers/Penguin Random House. In that time, I published books that won awards, hit bestseller lists, and opened readers’ eyes to new stories and ideas. You can see a selection of them below.

My constant mission was to publish books that helped readers understand the world around them, their place in it, and their ability to impact it in ways big and small, whether through fiction or nonfiction, humor or heart, contemporary or historical, realism or fantasy. I’m a firm believer in the ability of books to help shape who young readers become, and I take that idea seriously for every book that I edit, whatever the genre and intended audience.

I’d love to help you shape your story into the very best version of itself! If you’re looking for a big-picture critique, a more in-depth developmental edit, a line-level review, or anything in between, please reach out and let’s chat.

I also offer authenticity reads for books with Jewish characters, topics, and themes.

My rates vary by project, and I’d be happy to have a conversation with you about what makes sense for yours.
