I am a children’s book editor with over eight years of experience. I’ve worked at major publishing houses including Simon & Schuster, Albert Whitman & Company, Penguin Books, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. I have been lucky enough to work on bestsellers and award winners, with literary and commercial books, and books that span genre and age range.
I work with picture books, early readers, chapter books, middle grade, and young adult novels. I am an experienced speaker and have presented at conferences or events in Kansas /Missouri, San Diego, Los Angeles, Pennsylvania, Dallas/Fort Worth, North Carolina, and Illinois.
I am a Publishers Weekly Star Watch 2017 Honoree.
