I’ll go first:
I’m a writer, editor, and content strategist in New York with a thoroughly unreasonable love of literature. My stories, poems, book reviews, author interviews, and essays have appeared in Unsaid, Ninth Letter, Electric Literature, Hobart, HuffPost, and Vol. 1 Brooklyn among other publications. Collections of my work have been shortlisted for competitions at Black Lawrence Press, DIAGRAM, The Collagist, and Rose Metal Press.
I hold a BA in English from the University of Michigan and an MFA in Fiction from New York University. Go blue, go purple, go books.
What’s more:
From 2014 through 2020, I served as Executive Editor at Open Road Media, where I directed a network of literary content sites—Early Bird Books, The Lineup, Murder & Mayhem, The Portalist—that reached over 1.5 million users a month. As the network’s co-founder, I played a primary role in executing its content strategy, collaborating with authors, editors, and producers, and overseeing a tight-knit team of contributors to produce top-tier multimedia content. I led branded partnership campaigns for clients such as Netflix, Wondery, Sourcebooks, and Sundance Now. Initiatives I helped spearhead received coverage in BBC and The New York Times. Highlights include hosting an in-person interview with bestselling true crime author Billy Jensen and live streaming a ghost hunt at a haunted Connecticut inn.
Today, I’m a content strategist at Celadon Books, where I oversee digital content marketing for an array of critically acclaimed titles, from The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides and The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz to The Book of Hope by Jane Goodall and Doug Abrams. I also work with FSG, an imprint of Macmillan, to produce reading group guides for books such as Rivers Solomon’s Sorrowland, Jonathan Franzen’s Crossroads, Eleanor Catton’s Birnam Wood, and more.
The work continues, the horizon never sets. With each new project, I seek to further my talents as a publishing professional and deepen my connection to writers and the written word.
