I've been a science writer/editor since 2014. My favorite part about being science writer is engaging with a new topic, diving deep, and learning all I can to really make a project succeed. My specialty is medical writing: I write/edit peer-reviewed journal articles, professional content, and hospital policy. I have spent over 10 years in the medical writing field, transcribing, editing, and researching, so that we can communicate complex information to the everyday reader. I love an industry that allows me to continue learning! You'll notice I also edit novels. I help authors get their stories ready for publication. I edit/proofread and format novels, and also provide ideas to help your story improve. I edit novels of any genre, notably historical romance, sci-fi/supernatural, psychological thriller, and just a good ol' fiction story. I edit, proofread, and format professional documents for companies, websites, and authors. I have worked for nurses, healthcare start-ups writing e-commerce, B2B hospitals writing policy, and independent clients needing help with up a blog post, website content, or email copy. Do you need your memo proofread? do you need a developmental editor for your story? Do you need to send out email copy, but you aren't great with words? Send it my way, I'd love to help! I enjoy working on long-term projects with clients; that allows us to gain a personal rapport and a better understanding of the topic. I'm a self-starter, enjoy the flexible hours that Upwork provides so I can get your project to you quickly! In my spare time, I ride horses, help in the dog show community, and train for ultramarathons.

Your story deserves a skilled partner who understands both craft and market. With specialized training in developmental editing and a writer's perspective, I help authors level up their manuscripts while preserving their unique voice. As a certified developmental editor (Editorial Freelancers Association), I've mastered both theoretical frameworks and practical applications of story craft. My training covers advanced techniques in narrative structure, character development, and author collaboration, ensuring I can help you transform your creative vision into a compelling, publishable work. I specialize in science fiction, fantasy, and broader speculative fiction genres, bringing both technical expertise and genre understanding to every project. As an active writer myself—self-publishing stories and consistently submitting to literary magazine—I understand the challenges and aspirations of authors at every stage of their journey. Beyond developmental editing, I also offer: *BETA READING AND MANUSCRIPT EVALUATION SERVICES:* Detailed reader feedback focusing on level of reader engagement, pacing, and emotional impact. My reports highlight both strengths and areas for improvement, giving you clear direction for revisions. *GHOSTWRITING:* Collaborative story development and writing services that capture your vision while meeting professional standards. Whether you need a short story or full manuscript, I'll help bring your ideas to life. *WRITER’S ASSISTANT SERVICES:* Ongoing virtual assistance and support throughout your writing process, including: • Brainstorming and plot development • Research assistance • Progress accountability • Feedback on works-in-progress • Query letter and synopsis review My approach combines rigorous analysis with supportive guidance. I believe every manuscript has potential, and my role is to help you realize that potential while maintaining your unique voice and vision. I continue to invest in my professional development through advanced courses and industry engagement, ensuring my clients benefit from current best practices in both craft and market expectations. Available for both one-time projects and ongoing collaborations, I pride myself on clear communication, meeting deadlines, and delivering thorough, actionable feedback that moves your project forward. Let's discuss how I can help strengthen your story and prepare it for success in today's competitive market.

I’m Emily, and I’m a grammar guru and syntax wizard. Before beginning my career as a full-time independent editor, I was trained in newspaper copy editing, which gave me laser-sharp error-slaying skills and the ability to edit for clarity and readability. Now, I consider myself very lucky to be doing what I love: performing word magic in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I have a natural eye for what works and what doesn’t in a piece of writing, and my superpower as an editor is the ability to shape sentences and make them flow. I’m also a skilled copy editor and enjoy working on projects where my role is simply to hunt down errors and eliminate them. I've worked on nearly 150 novels, novellas, and works of non-fiction for indie and hybrid authors, as well as small-press publishers. I’ve also worked with dozens of writers whose native language is not English, and I’m highly skilled at smoothing over awkward or clunky writing. I'm a quick and meticulous proofreader and line editor, and I provide insightful developmental feedback to authors who feel they need help with pacing, characterization, or plot development. I also spent time leading the young adult section for one of the largest independent bookstores in the world, where I got an inside view of the traditional publishing industry and developed an understanding of how and why authors succeed. My mission is to leave you with a book that's the best it can be. I hope we work together soon!
