About me
For 12+ years, I've worked in traditional publishing, editing manuscripts and managing book production from submission to publication. I've worked across fiction and nonfiction writing, helping authors produce books that are clear, polished, and publication-ready. Every manuscript is edited with the same care, attention to detail, and editorial standards I apply in my work in a publishing house, while preserving your voice as the author.

Operations Manager

Publishing • Full-time

Oct 2021 - Present • 4 yrs 10 mos

I oversee end-to-end publishing operations across editorial and production workflows, ensuring that manuscripts move efficiently from acquisition through editing, design, approval, and production readiness. My responsibilities include coordinating editors, proofreaders, designers, authors, and external contributors while maintaining production schedules, documentation systems, and quality control standards across multiple simultaneous titles. A key part of my role involves ensuring operational continuity — tracking project status, managing handovers between teams, and reducing rework caused by misalignment or missing information. I also contribute to production readiness for selected titles, including formatting oversight, layout coordination, and ensuring final outputs meet print and digital publishing requirements (including Amazon KDP standards). In addition, I support operational improvements by refining internal workflows, strengthening documentation systems, and enhancing cross-team communication.
