WRITING

Children’s Fiction & Nonfiction | Humor | Brand Content

I’ve written for various brands in publishing, film and TV, food, tech, toys, education, and travel. I love books of every kind, but I have a sweet spot for all things witchy, weird, quirky, and queer.

Some recent projects include: one of McSweeney’s Top 20 Pieces of 2020, the best-selling Little Passports title of the past three years, and the debut children’s books for a yet-to-be-announced beloved family brand. (Yes, I know that last one is quite cryptic. I told you I’m queer; I love drama!)

EDITING

Manuscript Evaluation | Developmental Editing | Line Editing | Consulting

As an editor and consultant, I bring brand narratives to life and help writers of all levels of experience produce their best work. My mission is to concoct the special sauce that makes your story stand apart and sizzle.

Some of my favorite projects include commercial children’s books, Social Emotional Learning (SEL) products, “own voices” stories, queer representation, Latinx folklore and brujería, magical realism, surrealism, and all things quirky and weird.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Stakeholder Management | Budgeting | Scheduling | Pitch Development

I was forged in the fires of the start-up industry; there isn’t a client comment, budget constraint, or accelerated schedule I haven’t conquered. Let me take care of the details so you can focus on the bigger picture.
