Strategy and Creative for Publishers

Hi! I’m Heidi!

I help publishers turn ideas into books.

It's been my pleasure to work on hundreds of titles for clients ranging from Chronicle Books to Bravery Magazine.

I make picture books, chapter books, and nonfiction for kids.

I also teach writing classes and coach authors.

“Congratulations on this beautiful book! We couldn’t have done it without you. Looking forward to working together with you again soon!”
— Beth Weber, Director of Managing Editorial at Chronicle Books
“You’re a dream to work with. ”
— Elyse Beard, EIC of Bravery Magazine

I’m passionate about taking time to do the deep thinking that’s needed to turn an idea into a story that’s memorable and meaningful, so my clients can publish with confidence and create products that are celebrated by readers and reviewers alike. 

I would love to be of service.
