Book Editing

That book’s not going to write itself.

 

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.

Let’s get your book off the back burner.
