about

I am an editor, writer, and tarot reader living in Charleston, South Carolina. Over the past six years I have worked with over a hundred authors across genres and styles to develop their individual pieces and manuscripts. Writers I’ve worked with have been featured in Forbes, Best Undergraduate Writing, The Adroit Journal, Poetry Quarterly, Waccamaw, and others, and have been nominated for multiple Editor’s Lists and finalist positions.

My own work has been featured in or is forthcoming in publications such as Prairie Schooner, Grist, and others. As an Associate Managing Editor, I oversee a team of five editors and work to help authors to develop voice, style, and tone over full-length manuscripts. You can find more information on my publications here, and the editorial services I offer here.

I began practicing tarot in 2019 and started reading for others not long after. It’s a practice that, I feel, makes me a better artist, partner, and person. In reading for others, I aim to provide the same effect. In 2023, I began Spring Tide Tarot. You can learn more about Spring Tide and how to book me for a reading here.
