About this Gig

I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WRITE A NOVEL!


Even the best laid plans start to run together by the end, right? Been there.


I am happy to help! And you won't need to choose between structure/developmental edits and line/grammar edit, you'll get both all in the same package. You are getting the benefit of my dual degrees here: a BFA in Creative Writing, and an MFA in Dramaturgy. I will conduct all my comments in Google Docs with full notation, including my recommendations for excerpts that may require revision, as well as my Reader First Impressions on things like readability, plot, characters, pacing, etc.


Fantasy and Science Fiction both involve a good deal of world building. I'll be reading for contradictions, inconsistencies, or other hiccups in the society you've built. This way, you can iron them out before a reader ever sees them.


Please message with specifics before placing an order, especially for word counts above 75k! I love working with authors with the goal of polishing their manuscript into something more commercial. Let's get you published!

    Very patient! I was in meltdown mode with a looming deadline and she answered my questions quickly and patiently. She had six days to complete it, but she did it in four. Gave me valuable input that confirmed what I thought was lacking. I was ready to throw in the towel but her input smoothed out...

    It was wonderful working with Nora. After our previous editor stopped editing, we were so happy to find her. She was professional, thorough, and great to collaborate with throughout the process. We’re very pleased with her work and will definitely be working with her again on our next book.

    Nora did a thorough copyedit of my manuscript. With the edits now in place, I feel confident the manuscript is fit for publishing. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Nora to anyone who needs a copyedit. My manuscript now looks polished and professional.
