I write quirky picture books with equal doses of heart and humor. I have an MFA in Fiction from Sarah Lawrence College and have published short stories, book reviews, and feature stories.

Simon Doonan,
THE WASHINGTON PAPER

I love helping writers make good stories even better and working with them to draw in new, sometimes unexpected readers.

​

As Editor at Cardinal Rule Press, I search high and low for the choicest manuscripts. Reach out to learn about speaking opportunities and conference availability. 

​

On select occasions, I provide freelance editorial services such as manuscript critiques. Please write to me if you'd be interested in this kind of opportunity.

My journey to kidlit began the day my son came home from school feeling ashamed of his beloved pink sparkly shoes. Seeing my child's need for more acceptance inspired a story and ended up reshaping my writing and editing practice.
