As a professional editor, I am dedicated to amplifying unique voices with consistency and clarity. I received my B.A. in English and Comparative Literature from UNC Chapel Hill, where I studied Writing, Editing, and Digital Publishing. Through editorial positions with various publishing houses and literary magazines, I've honed my proofreading, content editing, and line editing skills, and I'm well versed in copy editing with the Chicago Manual of Style. While I specialize in fantasy, romance, and literary fiction, I enjoy reading and editing a wide range of genres (including poetry and nonfiction), and I have ample experience with editing historical fiction, women's fiction, mystery, suspense, and horror. I love collaborating with new and seasoned authors alike and am happy to answer any questions, so please don't hesitate to reach out!
