I've been a journalist for 25 years, with frequent credits in NYT and WaPo among many other publications. I'm also the author of five books (three fiction, two narrative-nonfiction) with one more nonfiction book coming out next year. In addition, I run a storytelling team for a national nonprofit, where I've helped nearly 1,000 people get their personal essays published. I know the ins and outs of the journalism and book publishing industry. I'm excellent at crafting pitches of all kinds. And most important, I can help you get your article or book ready for editorial submission.
