My Story

I believe in the power of words to connect, inform, and inspire.  After beginning my publishing career at the William Morris Agency in New York, I honed my writing and editorial skills at the Joy Harris Literary Agency where I worked with a client list of more than 150 authors.  As an agent, I sold books to publishers such as Random House and Little Brown.  More important, I became adept at supporting writers at every stage of the journey - from idea to publication.    

Since launching Alexia Paul Editorial over a decade ago, I have helped writers of all stripes create prose that sings.  Whether your aim is traditional book publishing, self-publishing, or persuasive online content, you are conveying a story.  Why not make it as compelling as possible?

As a publishing veteran and lover of language, I am committed to helping my clients’ words hit their mark with beauty and precision.   I have a natural curiosity and drive to learn, which makes my job a joy as each project is a deep dive into a new world.   

It is a difficult task to take an idea and expand it into a cohesive, appealing narrative.  Even more than the sweat and hard work of it, writing takes a certain amount of intellectual bravery.  I’d like to be your partner in this challenging, creative, and ultimately vital endeavor.
