About this Gig

Send me a message before booking!


Memoir is the most openly vulnerable literary form, which means its editorial process is just as vulnerable. I'm here to make things easier. My editorial services are designed to meet you where you're at on your manuscript and to make the types of improvements you want as quickly and seamlessly as possible.


I offer three levels of service to my clients:


The Edit level includes copy editing and proofing, as well as attention to voice consistency throughout. This is a standard final edit for those of you who feel your manuscript just needs some final touches.


The Revise level is perfect for writers who want to be publication-ready quickly but who know there's still a lot of work to be done on their book. I will rewrite problem sentences, fix up the flow, and have a clean, clear copy of your manuscript ready to go to the presses quickly.


The Develop level is perfect for career writers who want to go through the learning process of making their book better themselves. I will provide copy editing and big-picture developmental comments on each page, coaching you towards the best version of your book.


Let's get your book looking its best!

    Initially I went with a gut feeling about Lillian based on the immediacy of her reply’s and how she made me feel instantly comfortable and valued. I couldn’t be more happy with the results of her devoted diligence and attention to each and every word of her developmental and line edit of my very long...

    I truly, deeply appreciate you looking this over, especially your help with punctuation. Quick, confidential, and thoughtful. Exactly the boost of confidence I needed before publishing. Thank you times a million.
