Hi, I’m Kristen!
I’m a former Big 5 editor who now helps writers around the world build stronger commercial fiction.
Whether you’re hoping to land an agent, sell to a publisher, or simply write the strongest book you can, my goal is to give you practical honest editorial advice that usually stays behind closed doors.
I specialize in crime fiction, romance and women’s fiction.
