HI, I’M NICOLE.

PUBLISHING BACKGROUND

I'm a freelance book editor and business writing coach with extensive experience with voice, tone, branding, and reader expectations across commercial genres, especially romance, fantasy, and book club fiction. I offer a full range of developmental editing, manuscript assessment, writing coaching (for authors and other professionals), and publishing industry consultation services.

I spent over 10 years at HarperCollins as the developmental editor, copywriter, and project manager on 200+ novels, including multiple New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and international bestsellers. My projects have sold millions of copies across the globe, hit every major bestseller list—including the #1 spot on the NYT and USAT lists—and won a Lambda Literary Award.

My work has appeared on billboards, in viral TikToks, and across various media outlets, including the Tamron Hall Show, TODAY Show, GMA, Cosmo, EW, Bustle, PopSugar, Insider, CNN, Oprah Daily, Buzzfeed, Marie Claire, Time Magazine, Shondaland, GQ, Parade, NPR, Washington Post, New York Post, Refinery29, New York Times Book Review, and more.
