About Me

I'm a lifelong storytelling enthusiast and an editor on the move as a nomadic freelancer. It’s my goal to help elevate writers and their stories to the highest possible standard. Working with writers and helping them to create their best work has been a wonderful privilege, and I'm thrilled to offer my skills and knowledge to those honing or developing their craft. As an editor, I prefer not to tell you what needs to change in your work but instead guide you to an understanding or spark an idea so that you can grow as a writer and continue to create better and better stories for me to obsessively consume—it’s all quite selfish really.

​

​After my MA in Journalism, I was an editor at HarperCollins Canada where I championed many talented authors such as Jessica Westhead, Steven Hall, Kate Eberlen, Dan Vyleta, Owen Nicholls, Karen McBride, Jeffrey Colvin, and Alison Taylor. When I went freelance, I built on my skillset in my other passion of film through script editing with my expertise in concise, forward-moving storytelling and industry knowledge. In addition to my editorial work, I was a book-to-screen agent for The Rights Factory for many years and helped to introduce book IP to film/TV industry by discovering wishlists and developing treatments and pitches to share with producers and studios.

 

I'm a horror nut and am passionate about working with writers whose stories confront the dark, bizarre, and terrifying webs in the corners of our minds. But don't let that scare you off—I bring equal enthusiasm to all I edit, including character-driven literary and contemporary fiction, speculative and sci-fi, psychological thrillers, and even a little YA fantasy. ​I've been fortunate to work with exceptional writers, and I look forward to working with many more. My goal is to guide authors and screenwriters to a polished manuscript/screenplay they feel confident in bringing to audiences.
