You know your characters, your story, and your vision.

 

My job is to bring a fresh, experienced perspective: to notice what’s working, identify where something could be stronger, and help you refine the details without losing what makes your story yours.

​

I’m not here to impose my voice on your work.

I’m here to help you find your own – and make it shine.

By the way...

​Want to hook your readers on social media? I’ll pick out memorable quotes from your manuscript that you can use to tease your book and pique readers’ curiosity.

Included with all editing services.

All editing is completed in Microsoft Word with Track Changes enabled.

​

For proofreading, I’m happy to work either with Word or PDF files. If you choose PDF, I’ll use comments to highlight any lingering errors, and you’ll need to apply the corrections on your end.
