Edits

I believe the role of an editor is to think about what the author is trying to do and make sure that’s clear for the reader.

I aim to hold true to your story and search out opportunities to make what you’ve already created richer, deeper, and more layered.

I will always explain why I changed something and give you the context as applicable. After edits, I always welcome follow up conversations to ensure you’re feeling clear about all that was done.

I’ve been writing and editing for over ten years, have interned at a publishing company where I read submissions and wrote Revise & Resubmit reports, and have published ten novels of my own.

My personal work has received multiple awards, and my most recent young adult contemporary romance was a finalist for the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year.

Clients say that I’ve made their writing stronger, and other descriptors of my editing that have come up frequently are helpful and insightful.

If you’re unsure about booking, please feel free to reach out. We can chat more about the process or I can do a short sample edit on your first twenty-five pages.

Sample edits work a bit better for line and copy edits, as it’s hard to see the span of the whole story and overarching craft elements with so few pages (plot and character development to name a few). In such cases, you can also send me a query, synopsis, or outline, which can help us discuss possibly big picture feedback.
