I'm a nonfiction book editor who previously spent a decade at Penguin Random House, where I acquired and edited four New York Times bestsellers and nine Wall Street Journal bestsellers. I help authors write books that readers quote, dog-ear, and re-read.

I'm particularly interested in books that offer new language for understanding the human experience, make sense of the patterns shaping our health, work, and relationships, challenge legacy narratives, and deepen our understanding of how money, power, and technology are shaping our world.

​

The authors I work with are deep experts in their fields, and what they often need most is critical distance — someone to help them see the shape of what they've built and find the through-line, framing, and language that make a book land. I also work closely on positioning, on the memorable vocabulary that fuels word of mouth, and on shaping the exterior of the book so it lands not just as a text but as a cultural object.

Over the course of my career, I've worked with Julie Zhuo, KC Davis, Annie Duke, Frank Abagnale, Marie Forleo, Ryder Carroll, Christian Davenport, Liz Fosslien, Mollie West Duffy, and Nicole Walters, among other best-selling and award-winning writers.
