Working With Me

Do you have a novel with an amazing story, and want to keep your readers from being distracted by errors and plot holes?

I’ve helped dozens of indie authors publish engaging stories that readers love. A major thing I’ve noticed is that when we review our writing, we often perceive our intended words instead of the actual words on the page.

I’ve received professional training in copy editing, developmental editing, manuscript evaluation, and line editing. I’m here to help you refine your manuscript to keep your readers engaged and turning the page for more.

I am a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association, where I am always learning and keeping up to date with the publishing industry.

It’s time to get out of your head and move closer to your goal of publishing your book.

With my editing services, I’ll help you hone your story to connect with readers while preserving your distinct voice.


Bio

My goal is to help you publish captivating stories with my fiction editing services, and I aim to make the process as easy as possible for you.
