This is fiction editing for writers who want their revision process to be simple, inspiring, and revitalizing. I am a certified developmental editor who loves working with storytelling powerhouses. Here we reject the editor’s reputation of “get-it-done.” You deserve expansive feedback, one-on-one care, and a touch of magic. Do you dream of a story that enthralls your readers and leaves them longing for more, anything more, in the desperate way only those who love stories can understand? And are you also scared that you’re going to invest a lot of money… just to get feedback that’s flat and leaves you with no direction forward? Behind the magic of my edits is an actionable, science-based, three-step approach to helping you craft your story as well as make you a better writer. As a developmental editor, I focus on major aspects of your manuscript such as theme, character arcs, and plot. While I’ve edited across genres (including scientific papers and a memoir cookbook), I know the most about fantasy, paranormal, and romantic literature. I’m here for the dreamers; those who are fierce in their stories and their hearts. Those untamable forces who seek answers, nuance, and the gray space between light and dark. Who want morally gray, enemies-to-lovers, and the tension between good and evil. Who want to show up for their story every step of the way. It’s time to write wild and edit free.
