About

I'm an experienced freelance editor and contract writer with a background in copy editing, fact checking, update editing, article writing, book reviewing, and newsletter creation. I have a history of consistency, longevity, and effective collaboration. As a freelance writer, I have contributed to BuzzFeed, Book Riot, Parents, The Lily, StarTrek.com, School Library Journal, and more. I specialize in reviewing books — including children's literature — but I've also covered disability, TV, nature, and parenting topics. In the past I've written website copy and social media for business professionals, nutritionists, writers, and more. I'm experienced in writing and curating newsletters. I edited BuzzFeed's twice-weekly Book newsletter before they shut down, and I currently edit Book Riot's children's newsletter, The Kids Are All Right, as well as monthly roundups for their main website. As a freelance editor, I have edited and updated pages for consumer advice websites and worked on creative writing pieces for individual authors and for Salt & Sage Books. I have four years of experience teaching academic writing at the college level, twelve years of experience working in a bookstore, and I have a Master of Arts in English.
