about me

Formerly a newspaper editor and executive, now a full time fiction writer and book editor. Half a dozen short stories published. My editing clients are international (US, UK, Australia, Europe, Middle East), and include traditionally published, agented, and self-published writers. I'm currently seeking agency representation for two completed novel manuscripts.
