Current Projects

My two current works in progress are Sire, a post-apocalyptic novel and Pedigree, a screenplay in the thriller genre about a couple on their honeymoon in the south of France.

Over the course of my Masters in Writing program, I discovered my passion for editing and supporting the vision of other writers as they develop their own projects. In addition to my own work, I am excited to now offer my services to other writers. I pride myself on offering thorough, constructive feedback while honoring each writer’s unique voice and perspective. I am happy to work with writers whose pieces are in various stages of development.
