Editor and Publishing Director

Twenty years
helping writers
become published
authors

Most people never get to sit across the desk from a Publishing Director.

I’ve been that person, acquiring, editing, and championing books from first draft to bestseller list, for two decades.

‘Publishing can be opaque. I’m not.’

My passion is to help authors navigate the world of writing and publishing from start to finish.

I want to demystify the process and help authors succeed.
