Editorial Strategy Director
Narrative First-Principles
I approach romance through the first-principles of emotional resonance and character agency. My editorial strategy prioritizes the fundamental tension between individual desire and community obligation, a core pillar of the Western genre. By stripping away superficial plot devices, I help refine narratives that challenge the status quo of contemporary fiction. I believe that a successful series relies on the irreducible truth of the human heart, treated as a primary driver for all reader-facing decisions.
