About this Gig

Send me a message before booking!


I LOVE LOVE, and romance truly takes the cake as my favorite genre to edit. I love the drama, the will-they-won't-they, the rising and falling tension. My editorial services are designed to meet you where you're at on your manuscript and get you ready to share your story with the world.


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!

    The is the second part of a work in progress romance novella that LL has edited for me. Her work is outstanding. I am interested in comments and corrections on sentence structure, awkward phrasing, and story line pacing (Developmental Editing). She has provided so many good observations and suggestions. Thank you.

    They provided a very thorough and detailed edit of my draft. This was just what I was looking for. As a new writer, I do not have the ability to see the issues, or the awareness to know what works and what does not. They provided notes on nearly every paragraph, and also made suggestions regarding overall clarity and chapter structure.

    Lillian did an impressive job in line editing my manuscript. I had asked her to make sure that I used American English throughout and not British English as usual. She marked all the differences down to the smallest detail, and although I gave her a last-minute job, she was extremely friendly and helpful...

    Lilian revised the translation of my novel, originally written in Italian. We productively discusses which terms should remain in Italian language for optimal reader experience and comprehension. Will work with her for my next translated novels. Well done.
