Freelance Consultation

Throughout the year, I take a limited number of freelance projects in various areas. If you're interested in consulting with me in any of the following, please use the form to send your inquiry. I do not take rush jobs.

Any consultation or freelance work is not an agreement of future collaborations or representation. If you consult me for editorial work, you may not query or pitch me over the course of our agreement, and you will receive equal consideration should you choose to seek representation from me in the future.

* I accept requests for middle grade and YA, in the following genres: horror, fantasy, science fiction, and magical realism. I also consider graphic novels of any genre.
** I will consult on almost any resume/cover letter, but specialize in publishing jobs, internship and fellowship applications, and resumes for career changes.
