I co-founded and managed a successful author and writer group on Long Island for five years. During events with publishers and authors I learned what matters, what agents are looking for, and the benefits and pitfalls of traditional publishing vs. self-publishing.

​

I've gained a lot of tips and tidings on my writing journey and want to share what I know.

​

Besides my passion for writing, I'm a fitness enthusiast, and I love coffee, chocolate, and animals. I'm mom to two amazing young men, and I live on Long Island with my husband, four zany cats, and the sweetest dog ever.

​

Whether you're new to writing, ready to query, or about to submit your manuscript,  welcome, you've come to the right place.
