Roughly 300 million self-published books are sold each year— how many don’t get published because the path from concept to publication is confusing or time-consuming or challenging? An award-winning journalist with a knack for storytelling, I specialize in developing gritty, honest, sometimes dark and always unforgettable stories.

At Pomegraf Editing & Book Development, I walk with newer authors as they work through initial concept development— a brilliant starting point for anyone who has a story to tell but doesn’t have a clear sense of how to grow their idea into a book—  and offer approachable editing for real people who have ideas, make mistakes, and want an editor who holds them accountable to better writing. I’m also available as a second set of eyes if you simply need a smart cookie to put some polish on almost-finished work before it goes public.

Let me know if you’d like a project-specific quote for book development, editing, proofreading or publishing. A 15-minute call to chat about your idea and see if it can take root is completely free. Let’s talk. Let’s write.
