I am a novelist, editor, ghostwriter, and translator. I have taught in the MFA and undergraduate programs of Sarah Lawrence College and Brooklyn College and worked for various organizations as a freelance editor. As a teacher and an editor, I have been working with young writers for almost fifteen years, helping them shape their projects and offering guidance, inspiration, craft critiques, and meticulous editing. I have published two well-received novels and I am a translator from Spanish to English, recently completing my fifth novel translation. I can be of crucial assistance to fiction, nonfiction, and academic writers (with expertise in APA, MLA, CMOS, CSE, Harvard, and Turabian styles) and can approach manuscripts from a development perspective or on the level of language, general structure, and straightforward copy editing and proofreading.
