I provide personalized editing for genre fiction and narrative nonfiction. My approach is as mentor, coach, and teammate rolled into one, and I have the same goal as you: to bring the best book possible to your readers.  I see myself as a collaborator helping to make your voice shine.

 
Editorial review will make your book even better. It is the rare unpublished story that couldn't use further polish. A critique or developmental edit helps you make your story as strong as it can be, by showing you what is working and what still needs revision (for example: filling plot holes or strengthening your main character's goal-motivation-conflict). Line edits and copyedits will find awkward phrasing or overlooked typos. A bonus to working with an editor is that in many cases you'll learn something that you can apply to your next project.
 
I pledge to have my clients’ best interests at heart. In addition, I strive to improve every day, with every book. I continue my education through classes, webinars, and workshops.
