Guiding stories from manuscript to marketplace—and from page to screen.

18+

Years of
Experience

I’ve been helping authors get their books noticed—and taken seriously—since 2007.

Over the past 18+ years, I’ve worked hands-on with more than 375 book titles, guiding authors from raw manuscripts to industry-ready works positioned for traditional publishing. Of those, 281 authors went on to secure publishing contracts with major houses including Scholastic, Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, and Cengage.

Most notably, approximately 75% of the titles I’ve represented progressed to film or streaming adaptation, with projects developed for Netflix and major motion picture channels—bringing powerful stories from the page to the screen.

More About me

What I Do

I work one-on-one with authors, guiding them through the accreditation and positioning process required by traditional publishers and screen decision-makers. My role is not simply to introduce your book, but to prepare it for endorsement, acquisition, and long-term visibility—ensuring it is taken seriously within professional publishing and development environments.

A Clear, Strategic Objective

My goal is straightforward yet deliberate: to position your book for placement in online marketplaces and physical bookstores, where it can be discovered, recommended, and respected on its own merit—not buried in a catalog, miscategorized, or lost in a list. Every step is designed to support sustainable discoverability rather than short-term exposure.

Beyond Marketing

What I do goes far beyond promotion. My approach combines:
• Publicity strategy — building credibility through aligned media, professional presentation, and reputational signals
• Retail stocking insight — understanding what bookstores, distributors, and acquisition teams actually accept and support
• Market evaluation — assessing narrative strength alongside commercial viability and adaptation potential

Manuscript Evaluation With Industry Standards

Each manuscript is carefully reviewed for editorial quality, audience alignment, and screen viability, ensuring it meets the expectations of publishers, producers, and industry gatekeepers before it is ever presented. This process helps authors avoid premature submissions and positions their work for meaningful consideration.

If you’re an author ready to move from aspiration to acquisition—from manuscript to bookstore shelf or screen—I help make that transition intentional, credible, and achievable.
