I will proofread and edit your short fiction

Professional editing from a writer with over ten years of experience.

I am a writer with over ten years of professional writing experience and a degree in Professional Communication. I have also spent countless hours critiquing the writing of others and having my own writing critiqued in turn. I am confident that I can make any story better, whether it needs structural work or just a quick pass for typos.

Editing isn't about imposing my own ideas of quality on a writer; it's about helping you achieve your goals with your writing. Tell me what you want your story to do, and I'll make sure it succeeds.
