My mission is to help you write and revise from a place of wholeness, not desperation, not depletion, but clarity, creative confidence, and self-compassion.
I'm a developmental editor and certified book coach, and the author of four upmarket novels. My books have been recognized by Booklist, Refinery29, BookBub, and Popsugar.
I also host The Whole Writer podcast and write the Dear Whole Writer Substack, both born from the same belief that guides everything I do here: writing well and staying whole don't have to be two separate goals.
My specialty is working with writers in the mid-draft to early revision stage, the place where a manuscript has real bones but still needs someone to help it find its shape. It's my favorite place to meet a writer, because it's where the story is close enough to see clearly, and still open enough to become fully itself.
