I worked as an Acquisitions Editor for over a decade at two major publishers, Random House and Grand Central Publishing.

Over the course of my career, I’ve edited a broad range of titles. Fiction. Nonfiction. Commercial. Literary. I worked with celebrities. I also introduced debut authors to the marketplace. Many of my books were award-winners and New York Times bestsellers. Find out more on my website, by clicking here.

At Grand Central Publishing, I helmed the Mysterious Press imprint, working with several Mystery Writers of America Grand Masters, among others, on mysteries, suspense novels, and true crime.

At the core, I aim to edit the kind of book you just can’t put down, the kind that makes you miss your subway stop or keep your light on for an extra hour, despite that early-morning presentation. And, to that end, I’m a master at pacing, plotting, and restructuring.

I understand the creative process from the writer’s perspective, too. I’m the author of two essay collections, Odd Type Writers: The Obsessive Habits and Quirky Techniques of Great Authors (Penguin/Perigee) and Dancing With Mrs. Dalloway: Stories of the Inspiration Behind Great Works of Literature (Penguin/Perigee). I edited the anthology 100 Great Poems for Girls (Grand Central Publishing). My articles have appeared in Poets & Writers, Writer’s Digest, and Spirit magazine, among others.

I’m was the Executive Director of SLICE Literary, a New York-based nonprofit. I’m also one of the founders of the Pub Pros.
