Get to Know Me
Writing and publishing is my passion (and I'm sure it's yours, too!). I'm here to help your dreams come to life and your project hit the publishing stage.
Before breaking out on my own, I was an editor at Penguin Random House UK, where I was privileged to work closely across a wide array of books – including a few Sunday Times bestsellers – by both household names as well as emerging debut writers.
I have experience in all sorts of genres, from the more niche Star Wars and Stranger Things publishing lists, to mass-market celebrity and personal memoirs such as Tina Turner’s My Love Story and Paul Osborne’s Sherlock: The Fire Brigade Dog.
However, my personal love is all things crime and thriller, working on such titles as The Nanny by Gilly Macmillan, Come Back For Me by Heidi Perks and Gone By Midnight by Candice Fox.

After emigrating from the UK in early 2025, I am now based in the beautiful city of Victoria, British Columbia, where I live with my husband, and enjoy reading manuscript, drinking far too many London Fogs, visiting bookshops and museums, and going on long walks and shorter runs.
