I'm a developmental editor, a line editor, and a book coach. I work with short- and long-form narrative nonfiction, with flash and short fiction, and increasingly with novels as well. I also judge fiction (literary, contemporary, and general) and nonfiction (memoir, self-help, and essays) through various awards programs, and I've been an editorial reviewer of the same. I worked as a senior editor at San Jose arts and culture publication Content Magazine, as a managing editor at Contently, and in various other staff and freelance editing and writing positions over the last thirty-plus years.

In 2022 and 2023, I coordinated and managed the IPNE Book Awards program, developing new program materials for both judges and authors.
