Editing Services
Free consultation
An online call to discuss your current project and editing needs, and to see if we'd be a good match. You can even opt to get a live demonstration of how I edit using a portion of your work!
Recommended for anyone considering hiring an editor.
Manuscript review
Book therapy
Like life, writing is hard and sometimes you need a little professional help. This coaching session provides a clearer direction for your writing project and reduces the potential for future major redos.
Recommended for those struggling to pin a concept to the page.
Finished your first draft and not sure where it needs more work? Wondering how to fix that plot hole? This editorial assessment gives you an overview of your story elements and advice for improvement.
Recommended for those who have a complete project needing review.
Structural edit
Even the best stories need an edit to establish smooth pacing, plot progression, and meaningful character/argument development. Ensure your narrative is effectively organized with a full structural edit.
Recommended for those wanting a 'big picture' edit for their book.
Full book edit
Includes a manuscript review, structural edit, line edit, and light copy edit. This will iron out most narrative and grammar issues in your book and make it presentable to a literary agent or publisher.
Recommended for anyone serious about publishing their work.
Customized service
Want to mix and match a line edit with a manuscript review? Get tailored editing to match the needs, and budget, of your unique writing project by combining any of the services offered.
Recommended for when no other editing service fits.
Authenticity read
Get a trained eye on your work to catch blind spots, internalized biases, or potentially problematic descriptions of people or communities in your writing. This is also known as sensitivity reading.
Recommended to ensure your project is free of misrepresentation.
Non-book formats
Stories are told in many forms besides traditional books—podcast, speech, board game lore, interactive, choice-based adventures, and more. They all need editing to please the audience!
Recommended for those who want to publish stories in other mediums.
An editing style that is
Reader centric
Author led
Story focused
Logic driven
Genres
Fiction
I enjoy working on fantasy, sci-fi, crime and thriller, supernatural horror, romance, graphic novels, YA, middle grade, and kids' chapter and picture books. Literary fiction, novellas, short stories, or short story collections are also welcome.
Not sure what genre your project is?
Non-fiction
I'm happy to take on a variety of genres—personal memoir, business, self-help and development, psychology, healthcare, comedy, social issues, sustainable living, philosophy, general science, and essay collections or anthologies.
Alternative formats
Stories do not have to be bound in a book to need editing. I can edit formats like choice-based branching stories, episodic podcasts, role-play game and board game arcs, and interactive text and animation books.
Not for me
Typically, I do not edit poetry, history, cookbooks, and heavily technical, religious, or political text.
