Formerly at HarperCollins and Macmillan. I read a lot. I write books no one will ever read. But mostly I edit books people will read.

I’m currently on submission with the young adult book of my heart: COSMIC GIRLS.
Unfortunately, my agent let me know she’s leaving agenting, so I no longer have representation. Now, my focus is on finishing a new manuscript and seeking a new agent.
Wish me luck, world.

In light of everything that’s going on, I’m going to be focusing a lot on using your voice, protecting your work, and making sure your story is heard.

Writing might feel frivolous to some, but books are powerful. Information is powerful. Your voice and your story, no matter how small you think it is, are powerful. Never forget that ❤️
