"Nicole especially loves editing in complex worlds."

Nicole is a passionate storyteller and consumer of stories. She particularly loves building complex worlds and developing compelling characters.

As a former ESL teacher and tutor, Nicole has a lot of experience looking at the finer points in writing that are often overlooked. When she is not spending time with her husband and three (soon to be four) children, she loves to read, travel, crochet, and craft. Her guilty pleasure is ditching the family to go to the movies all by herself.

Nicole loves fantasy, historical fiction, and self-help books. She has a special, soft-spot for teen fiction, and only avoids horror and erotica.

Nicole’s favorite books are the Harry Potter series, The Countess Below Stairs, and Girl, Wash Your Face.

What Clients Say

Nicole was a pleasure to work with. She helped me understand what I need to work on for future books. This was my first book and editor. No question went unanswered, Erin made me feel comfortable with them. Loved the open communication.

A sublime editorial experience. Nicole completely “got” the story and the main characters, and made such helpful suggestions, including one that gave us a plot point that will carry through to later books in the series. The edit was timely, reasonably priced even with a rush, and to be honest, the ed. letter made me tear up, it was so kind and generous. We look forward to working with you again and again as we build a body of work!
