My Story

Every story starts the same way—a spark you can't shake, a line you scribble on your phone at two in the morning before it slips away. Going from idea to a finished manuscript is the hard part. I started with screenwriting in the early 2000's and then moved on to prose.

I'm here to help you get to whatever finish line you have and achieve success on your own terms.

I specialize in science fiction, dystopian fantasy, and YA/NA with over twenty years of craft experience between screenplays and prose.

Whether you want a full read-through, a hard look at your first fifty pages, or a second pair of eyes on your outline while you're still drafting it—I can help.
