EDITING SERVICES
Are you writing a book or a Short Story and need help?
WHO AM I?
I’m a traditionally published author with 5 novels (fantasy and romance) published at HarperCollins and Disney and 10 years+ as a writer and freelance editor. I've also mentored numerous writers (PitchWars, Author Mentor Match) through the publishing process and helped them revise their manuscripts, get agents, and land book deals at top 5 publishing houses.
In addition to mentoring, I've taught workshops and classes at various writing conferences (e.g. Teen Author Book Camp) with topics like finishing your novel, breaking through writer's block, and outlining. I’ve also been a critique partner of manuscripts for numerous traditionally published authors.
HOW DO I EDIT?
My strengths lie in developmental edits and helping hone in on the core of your story. If you’re looking for a service or help that isn’t on this list, please still feel free to reach out!
WHAT DO I EDIT?
I’m focused on fiction across Adult, Young Adult, and Middle Grade, with a specific focus on genre (fantasy, sci-fi, romance, etc.).
