Like generations of readers before me, I firmly believe in the power of the written word. God’s word transformed my life, and I’ve seen the lives of others transformed by the heartwarming stories of Christian authors. With extensive experience as an author, editor, literary agent, speaker, and faculty member at numerous writing conferences in the Christian book industry, I can edit your novel so that your audience hears the clear, clarion call of your unique voice.
As a senior acquisitions editor, I was responsible for launching a well-rounded series of bestselling YA novels at Zondervan (HarperCollins Christian Publishing) and quality, highly reviewed novels at Abingdon Press. I’ve also worked with both fiction and nonfiction authors and edited their book manuscripts during my entire career.
My educational background includes an MA in English from National University, a BA in English from Missouri Southern State University, and a Film Certificate from the Mass Media Institute at Stanford University.
“Let me help you fulfill God’s purpose in your life through the creative process and change lives as you share the gospel in story form.”
