About me
I’ve worked nine years in the publishing industry, as a literary agent, foreign rights scout, and now as an assistant editor.
I’m also a Pushcart Prize–winning writer, with short stories published in Ploughshares, One Story, West Branch, Fence, and Adroit, among other journals. My debut novel is forthcoming from McSweeney’s in Fall 2026.

This Substack is a repository for publishing industry advice and how-tos, craft musings, and philosophical screeds on the writing life.
You can contact me via Substack or via my website with feedback, questions, pushback, and/or approbation.
