Strategy and Creative for Publishers
It’s been my pleasure to work on hundreds of titles for clients ranging from Chronicle Books to Bravery Magazine. I specialize in picture books, chapter books, and nonfiction for kids. I also teach writing classes and work one-on-one with authors. Some are totally new to publishing. Others are Caldecott winners!
I’m passionate about taking time to do the deep thinking that’s needed to turn an idea into a story that’s memorable and meaningful, so my clients can publish with confidence and create products that are celebrated by readers and reviewers alike.
