About this Gig
Vetted Pro
Welcome! I love working with both aspiring and seasoned writers who want to hone their craft! I offer services ranging from proofreading/line editing to a detailed, thoughtful analysis of major elements such as plot, pacing, characters, dialogue, and setting/world-building.
What you get:
- Timely, clear communication and project delivery
- A keen eye for detail and mastery of Chicago Manual book style
- An editor who cares about your book as much as you do
- A clean, polished manuscript ready for publication
- Satisfaction guaranteed
Why choose me?
I have written 30 fiction books, including bestsellers, and edited countless others as a senior editor for a California publisher. First drafts take courage, faith, and hard work, but editing is what turns a good book into a great one. I am open to all genres, but have special expertise in fantasy and sci-fi, YA, mysteries/thrillers, romance, historical fiction, and memoirs. Working together, we can take your manuscript to the next level!
***I am happy to work on books of ANY length, as well as series or other special projects.
