Writing cookbooks is a unique art, with its own language and logistics. Your idea is just the start—but if you’re not sure what to do next, or you need a partner to manage the load, I can help. As a former editor with over a decade in the food and lifestyle category, I’m fluent in the resonant storytelling, clear prose, vivid photography, and practical organization behind a successful book.

For authors: As a ghostwriter, co-writer, or project manager, I can translate your words and ideas into a polished manuscript; and, as needed, advise on or commission photography or illustration. Just getting started? I can help you craft a successful proposal based on years of acquisition experience.

For editors: I’m available for edits at any stage of production, including developmental editing, line editing, and layout review.

For international colleagues: I am experienced in text Americanization, including recipes.
