Browse My Work

Since joining the publishing industry full-time in 2018, I’ve worked on more than 150 published titles, among them New York Times bestsellers and Best Books of the Year, Junior Library Guild selections, and a Sydney Taylor and National Jewish Book Award winner. In partnership with outstanding book teams, I develop commercially successful projects that publish to critical acclaim: receiving starred reviews, earning placement on state lists, and resonating with audiences around the world.

Below are just some of the projects I’m proud to have edited . . . with many more on the way!
