Welcome Writers
I love working with writers and helping them to realize their vision. I offer developmental editoring services, coaching and accountability services, or combinations of both. Your writing journey is unique and so are your needs. Let's talk about how I can help you to move your work forward and realize your creative goals.
For two books now, Alex has given me the most helpfully astute notes of anyone involved in the editorial process. She knows exactly how to ask the right questions without prescribing solutions. From character arcs to continuity issues to big-picture thematic contradictions, Alex is adept at pinpointing a manuscript's troublespots. The same critical eye she brings to contracts (I have also, for the record, used her business affairs services) is brought to bear on helping to make a story the best version of itself. She also delivers her notes with a care and sensitivity that manages to mitigate any feeling of overwhelm. She is my most trusted reader.

About Me
I bring over a decade of work in the publishing business working with diverse writers at different career stages from debut author to ultra-bestseller. I've worked as an agent, a strategic business advisor on an agent's team, an editor, and a friend. I am grateful to have worked with some wonderful people who also happen to be inspiring writers. ​
​
I'm also a voracious reader. I read fiction and nonfiction, narrative nonfiction and memoir, romance, YA, romantasy, science fiction, literary fiction, history, science, and spirituality. I love to talk about most books, but I'll freely admit that I don't really enjoy horror or "dark and twisty" (unless it is in paranormal or fantasy romance where it feels entirely different to me).
