If a compelling person with a transformative story has something to tell the world, there's nothing I'd like more than to help them put it on the page.


I am a New York Times bestselling collaborator who works with celebrities, beauty and wellness experts, professional athletes, CEOs, and women with a mission. I partner with authors to write and develop their stories, create marketable programs, and sell their books to major publishing houses. With over twenty years of publishing experience, the books I’ve co-written have been published by Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, Rodale, Grand Central, St. Martin’s Press, Little, Brown, and more.

Before I became a collaborator, I was an editor, with a sixteen-year career at the Avon Books/William Morrow division of HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster’s Atria Books. I acquired and edited titles including The Atkins Essentials by Dr. Robert C. Atkins, Manic by Terri Cheney, From This Moment On by Shania Twain, The FastDiet by Dr. Michael Mosley, The Time of My Life by Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi, and Carved in Bone by Jefferson Bass. All of these were multi-week New York Times bestsellers and were published in dozens of countries around the world.

Because I grew up as an editor, I take a keen interest in helping authors well after we deliver their books. I aim to be their secret weapon, assisting with creative marketing content, translating confusing publishing procedures and jargon, and partnering with their editors and agents to help sell their books as effectively as possible.

I currently live in Brooklyn, New York, with my husband and two daughters.
