Whether I’m discovering a story within the pages of a book or hearing one unfold through my headphones, I’m in love with great storytelling. I’ve worked in both book publishing and the audio industry for over twenty years and have a wealth of knowledge about all aspects of both businesses. I started my career in the production department at St. Martin’s Press, where I honed my proofreading and copyediting skills, and worked with editors and authors to keep things running on schedule.

From there, I knew I wanted to work more directly with authors, and in 2013 I had the good fortune of being the first employee hired at the newly-launched Flatiron Books. At Flatiron, I wore two hats. As a Senior Associate Editor I acquired and edited memoir, biography, history, music, popular science, and humor books. Some of the books I edited went on to become New York Times bestsellers (The First Conspiracy by Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch and Big Data Baseball by Travis Sawchik), Amazon Best Books of the Month (Sigh, Gone by Phuc Tran), and Alex Award winners (A Hope More Powerful than the Sea by Melissa Fleming). And as the Publishing Manager I strategized with the sales, production, publicity, and marketing departments to set our titles up for a successful launch.

Over time I became a big fan of podcasts and fell in love with audio storytelling. In 2019 I landed a job at Macmillan Podcasts where I oversaw their network of shows and worked on the Ambie Award-winning history podcast Driving the Green Book, along with a range of other podcasts covering literature, pop culture, biography, and true crime.

In 2020 I moved to Pushkin Industries to help launch their audiobooks department. I work with production teams to create immersive, sound-rich, and award-winning audiobooks including Miracle and Wonder: Conversations with Paul Simon by Malcolm Gladwell and Bruce Headlam, Wild and Precious: A Celebration of Mary Oliver, Heartbreak: A Personal and Scientific Journey by Florence Williams, and So Many Steves by Steve Martin and Adam Gopnik.

I use this wealth of experience to bring the utmost care and compassion to helping writers tell their stories. I’d love to roll up my sleeves, dig into your manuscript, and work with you!
