I am an editor, book coach, writer, and the co-founder of Copilot Publishing.
Over the last decade I have published New York Times, international, and national bestselling books, and worked with acclaimed and award-winning authors, including John Lithgow, Paulo Coelho, Kim Krans, Mark Manson, Sheleana Aiyana, Daniel Handler, Kat Graham, Gary Kamiya, Caitlin O’Connell, and Steve Turner. As the former Editorial Director for Wonderwell Press, I oversaw the publication of over two dozen books per year in personal growth, psychology, spirituality, memoir, wellness, health, travel, activism, and more. I helped to lead writer’s retreats and online publishing workshops, coached writers from draft to finished manuscript, developed book proposals, and oversaw cover design, as well as titling and positioning.
Before this, I helped to launch Chronicle Books’ non-fiction imprint, Chronicle Prism where I edited the New York Times bestselling series Dumpty and worked with major brands such as The Wild Unknown, Men in Blazers, The Little Prince Estate, and Rising Woman. While at HarperCollins, I was a part of the editorial team behind the mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, along with many other impactful book campaigns. My passion is working on books that transform and heal lives, awaken new perspectives and deeper understanding. I also blend my experience working in Big Five traditional, indie, and hybrid publishing, as well as gift production to offer consultation in finding the best publishing path for your book.
Yes, yes, nice resume. How about something more personal?
Well, I love books and writing (maybe a little obvious), but I am also an avid traveler, aspiring artist, amateur guitarist, and a big nature-lover.
I grew up on a coffee farm in Hawaii, and have since lived in The Netherlands, China, New York City, San Francisco, and now Orange County. While studying English in college I did an eight-month research project on the transformation of women’s travel across history, which is when I wrote my first long-form travel essay collection. My love of travel has led me to have some pretty unique experiences, from modeling in China at the age of 19, riding with a biker club through Germany with my best friend, and living at a surf and yoga camp in Portugal for a month, to biking through Holland, road tripping across Italy, and castle-hopping in Ireland, and much more. If you haven't heard from me in a awhile, I am probably planning my next trip or writing about my last one. In my free time, you'll find me in a cozy chair reading, on a hike in nature, or playing guitar with my husband.
