FAQ
How often will I receive updates on my novel?
That is totally up to you! I can update you as little or as much as you'd like! It is up to you to request the communication, however.
Do you edit other genres?
Yes, I do! I simply specialize in Fantasy/Sci-Fi, YA, and Romance. However, I do NOT edit memoirs, biographies, or autobiographies.
