bio

From the mid-1980’s to the mid-1990’s, I was a literary agent for the Georges Borchardt and Ellen Levine agencies, both located in the heart of the New York publishing industry. I represented numerous fiction and nonfiction writers, including mystery writers, first novelists, memoirists, and journalists.

In 1998, I took my insider’s understanding of the industry and my unique perspective as a former agent, and became a publishing and writing consultant. Since then, I have worked with dozens of serious writers at different stages of their writing careers- from beginners to established authors- working in many different categories.

I have participated in panels and given lectures on writing and publishing at writing conferences and universities such as Pace University, Bryn Mawr College, Drexel University, the University of Maine, and the University of Alaska.
