About me
I am a queer developmental editor with a decade of experience in theater, directing plays and operas, as well as collaborating with playwrights to develop new and compelling narratives. As an author and playwright myself, my life is immersed in storytelling, and I am deeply passionate about working with writers who have extraordinary tales to share.
