A good, solid edit of your writing will ensure that your book is at its best. Even top writers benefit from having good editors. I work with first-time and seasoned novelists, short-story writers, poets, children’s book authors, and essayists. I provide a range of services from proofreading a manuscript that’s about to be printed, critiquing one that’s in need of some repair, coaching writers as they complete their projects to copyediting, developmental editing, and ghostwriting. I also assist authors in marketing their manuscripts to agents and publishers by crafting and/or editing proposals, queries, synopses, and creating a database of contacts.

For a free estimate and to discuss your project further, or if you simply have a question, contact me via my submit page or e-mail me.

“I was expecting you to shred my entire book, so I was pleasantly surprised when you finished the first pass and didn't say ‘don’t quit your day job.’ You are honest, and all of your corrections and suggestions were put in a way that they didn’t come across as criticisms. It was very easy to work with you. As a new author, I found that a great quality in you as an editor. You only helped me to grow a little better at writing. For that I say thank you.”
