PUBLICATION PARTNERS

I partner with presses, universities, and agencies to bring manuscripts to their fullest potential — from big-picture structural guidance to line-level polish. With a PhD in English, 16 years of university teaching, and an extensive record of editorial work at every level, I bring both scholarly rigor and practical publishing experience to every project.

​

Nonfiction: My editorial experience spans book-length manuscripts, academic journals, and major reference works. I served as Managing Editor for The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the Language Sciences (Cambridge University Press) and LIT: Literature Interpretation Theory (Taylor & Francis) and have edited three book-length essay collections for Routledge and LIT. I have assessed manuscripts and proposals for MIT Press, Oxford University Press, Palgrave Macmillan, Routledge, University Press of Mississippi, University of Wales Press, McFarland, and Wallflower, and reviewed articles for PMLA and other leading journals. Reviewers have described my editorial work as "strong and well-edited," "delightfully easy to read," and "intelligent, up-to-date and very readable."

​

Fiction: As a juror and chair of the Bram Stoker Awards (2018–2023), I reviewed and evaluated hundreds of speculative fiction manuscripts annually, developing a sharp eye for what makes genre fiction work at the highest level. I have served on 8 MFA thesis committees, providing sustained developmental guidance on book-length creative projects, and have supervised numerous independent studies for fiction writers working on original manuscripts. My teaching experience—90+ writing-focused courses over 16 years—includes creative writing workshops.
