Introduction
My goal as a book editor is, above all, to honor your vision. I work collaboratively and take time to deeply understand the kind of support you’re seeking. I have a keen, quick eye: I can spot opportunities/needs for developmental edits, proofing edits, and everything in between. I look forward to working with you!
I have worked on poetry collections, short story collections, personal essays, and more. I have 10+ years experience writing and editing in the nonprofit sector.

As a poet herself, Leila’s talent lies in her special sensitivity to words and ideas—her keen sense of their intertwined music and meaning. Consistently, throughout her editorial work on my short story collection, her instincts for pulling back, pushing for development, and cutting outright had an exquisite sense of correctness. There was balance and care on the word, sentence, and story level—an editorial range and exactitude no writer can live without. Like any writer deep in the weeds on a piece, I had been finding it difficult to see the work with fresh eyes—but with Leila’s notes, automatically trustworthy because of their innate artistry, a path forward became clear again. Her feedback inspired a whole round of revisions that demonstrably improved the collection. This was an invaluable gift to me and would be to any writer looking to perfect their project.
