MY PERSONAL LIFE:

I grew up in New England, the daughter of two college professors, and moved to Paris over a decade ago. I spend my free time hiking, playing piano and knitting (when I’m not reading or writing, of course!). I am bi-national and bilingual, so I am comfortable working in both English and French.

MY EDUCATION:

I earned my BA in English Literature from Princeton University and my MA in Literary Research from La Sorbonne Nouvelle. I taught English for five years in Paris — if I can teach a surly French teenager to write a good essay, I can certainly help you!

I earned my copy stripes at Agora, a titan of the direct-marketing industry and one of the biggest names in the business. I started as a humble copywriter before being promoted to Copy Chief of the Paris office, a position I kept for four years. I ran our team of A-List copywriters and oversaw all copy that was generated in house.

MY WORK:

Since 2023, I’ve been working independently as an editor and writer. My editing falls into two categories: on the one hand, editing books, stories and articles, for novelists and journalists, but also memoirists and nonfiction writers.

• I’ve worked with fiction writers on pieces that got published in The New York Times and The London Review of Books.

• I’ve edited books by CEO’s of million-dollar companies and PhD experts who want to share their findings.

• I’ve worked on screenplays destined for Netflix and redlined play scripts before hitting New York City theaters.

On the other hand, I also copy edit for entrepreneurs and professionals who are trying to scale their business through more effective communication and messaging.

• I’ve helped freelancers make their websites pop — from pilates instructors to midwives.

• I’ve helped tech startups tighten their pitches and hone their messaging.

• I’ve helped non-profits write killer fundraising emails and butter-smooth community outreach.

When I’m not editing for my clients, I write fiction, and I serve as Reviews Editor for Souvenir, a literary magazine.

MY PHILOSOPHY:

No matter what, I approach each new client with great passion, and invest myself in helping them realize their vision. I’m known, amongst those I work with, for holding your writing to the highest standard, while doing so with respect for both you and your work.

Through it all, my goal remains the same: to make your words work for you.
