All payments are to be made with PayPal. I am currently open to query packages and Picture Book edits. I will not be booking partial manuscript or full edits until February. Please note that first-chapter critiques are for a maximum of 12 pages double-spaced. For larger scale purchases I can provide a 5-page sample edit before you make your decision. For all editing services (aside from full manuscripts), payment must be made upfront and in full. All prices are set in USD.  Sorry, no refunds.

I am editing in MG, YA, and A and will read anything except for Non-Fiction, it's outside of my wheelhouse. Also, do not send me ANYTHING where a child is hurt in any way (meaning sexual or physical abuse). Previous trauma regarding this for your characters is okay. Finally, nothing where an animal dies please, my animal-obsessed heart can't take it.

I am a junior literary agent with Belcastro Literary Agency and worked as an agent-apprentice with the same agency prior to being promoted. I have also interned with CMA, Inc. and ArtHouse Literary. I graduated from WCSU with my bachelor's and distinction in writing with a focus on journalism. I have serviced over 100 authors so far, more than half of which have gone on to receive requests, offers of rep/publication, and some have already published their stories through both indie and trad pubs.
