I will edit your book into a publishable shape

Behind every great writer, there stands, or sits, rather, a great editor.

Every Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings needs their Maxwell Perkins to reign in their prose, catch those pesky little typos, and notice the things that the writer themselves simply can't, or won't, because they are too close to the writing itself.

I've been working as a writer and editor for over 15 years. During that time, I've been in-house at a publishing company, worked as a freelance book editor for an indie imprint, and I've been a published author three times over as well. I know all about the editing process from both sides--from that of the editor, and from the perspective of the author.

As such...

I know when an edit requires a heavy hand, and when it requires a soft touch.

I know how to tighten up prose while respecting a writer's unique individual style.

And I know, above all, that a first draft is about getting your ideas down. The drafts that come after, those are where you show the world what you can really do, and what you want to say as a writer.

Let me transform your unpolished manuscript into the smooth, clean bestseller it's meant to be.
