My Books
I’m an award-winning author, ghostwriter, and former American Girl magazine editor with 20 years of experience. Across 50+ published titles, I’ve tackled everything from fiction and narrative nonfiction to science, lifestyle, and DIY activities. Here's a selected sample of my work.
Narrative Nonfiction
I love challenging myself to find the narrative arc within extensive research and interviews. Every project is a new knot to untangle, but sharing the stories of amazing people (and animals!) is such a treat.

Ghostwriting
I help experts, personalities, and brands turn their ideas and expertise into engaging books. From translating a scientist's knowledge into accessible nonfiction to capturing the voice of a digital creator, I adapt my writing to the subject, audience, and creative vision behind each project.

Short Fiction
I bring beloved fictional worlds to life through character-driven storytelling and original fiction for established brands and IP. TLDR; Writing for Disney Princess is a dream come true!

Science + STEM
I can turn complex scientific subjects into engaging, accessible nonfiction through in-depth research, expert interviews, and close collaboration with scientists and subject matter experts.

Lifestyle + Activity
I had some pretty rigorous training as the lifestyle editor at American Girl magazine, so I can tackle everything from crafts, recipes, and science experiments to quizzes and games. How-tos and directions? No problem!

Early Readers
While middle grade is my specialty, I love dabbling in early readers for kids. At this point, I've written about animals from about every angle, age, and format, and it's always fun.
