Collaborated with over 50+ authors to transition manuscripts from rough drafts to industry-standard submission packages.

Evaluated hundreds of "slush pile" submissions for commercial viability, providing detailed internal reports to senior agents. Identified "market gaps" and trending tropes in contemporary fiction and non-fiction to guide agency acquisitions. Learned exactly what causes an agent to "stop scrolling," a skill now applied to every client’s query package.
