I love my day job as a copywriter—but editing books is my real passion. With 20+ years of writing and editing experience, I help authors shape big, messy drafts into clear, compelling manuscripts. Whether you’re working on a novel, memoir, nonfiction, or dissertation, I’ll meet you where you are and help get your book where it needs to go.
Editorial Services
Developmental Editing
Big-picture feedback to help shape your manuscript’s structure, plot, character arcs, pacing, tone, and themes. Think of this as the “deep tissue” work—honest, thorough, and highly collaborative.
Manuscript Critiques
A high-level editorial letter outlining strengths, opportunities, and suggested revisions. Great if you’re early in the process and want a professional read on your draft.
Line Editing
A sentence-level edit to refine voice, rhythm, transitions, and clarity—while preserving your unique style.
Proofreading
Final polish before publication. I’ll check for typos, grammar, punctuation, and formatting issues with a sharp eye.
Marketing Support
Back cover blurbs, jacket copy, author bios, book proposals—I’ve spent years writing compelling copy and know how to pitch your work with precision and heart.
