About Me

Hi, I’m Polly—and I can’t wait to read your manuscript!
While I’m new to the world of professional book editing, my love of books runs deep. I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. Before shifting into editing, I spent years as an elementary school teacher in both London and Los Angeles, teaching first, fifth, and sixth grades.

Now based in Los Angeles with my husband and three sons, I specialize in romance and rom-coms—my favorite genres to read.
