If it's superb writing and expert editing you need, you're in the right place. My forte is making sure your final product reflects your inner genius. Whether you're a corporate CEO or a one-man show, you'll get polished, professional content that lets your expertise shine.
I've been editing professionally since 1993—everything from technical, financial, and scientific reports, blogs, SOPs, and manuals to manuscripts, poetry, motivational curricula, and annual reports.
My writing is nimble and diverse, crafting persuasive proposals, compelling case studies, moving memoirs and bios, and creative, dynamic marketing assets.
My work reflects my native U.S. English language. I'm downright fanatical (read: neurotic) about spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting. In addition to proofreading, I offer superior copyediting: improving phrasing, clarity, tone, and flow; identifying areas that need additional support; and writing new or revised material that genuinely connects with your reader.
In 2019, I took a leap of faith and retired from a 26-year career in state government at age 43 (do the math if you want to!) to pursue my dream of editing and writing as a freelancer. Since then, I've been helping individuals and companies produce outstanding content of every sort. My reviews are truly humbling, and I encourage you to read a few.
What's ahead? That depends on you! Join me on this journey. Reach out to get the ball rolling. I look forward to talking with you!

Your book is one professional edit away from being publication-ready - whether that's Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or a literary agent's desk.
I am a professional book editor, manuscript editor, and ghostwriter specialising in novel editing, ebook editing, and romance editing - including dark romance for self-publishing authors and traditionally publishing writers alike. Whether you are a first-time author, a self-publishing writer, or someone who used AI to draft your book and needs professional AI book editing - I bring the expert eyes your manuscript deserves. I have worked across fiction and nonfiction genres, editing and ghostwriting for authors at every stage of their publishing journey.
You have poured your time, energy, and heart into every page but something still feels off. Maybe the structure needs work. The sentences feel clunky. The dialogue falls flat. That is where I come in.
MY SERVICES
- Developmental Editing — big-picture structure, plot architecture, pacing, chapter flow, and character arc. I provide a detailed editorial letter so you know exactly what your manuscript needs.
- Ghostwriting — I write your book in your voice. You bring the idea, I bring the words. Your name, your story, your book. NDA available.
- Line Editing — sentence-level clarity, tone, rhythm, and voice consistency. For writers whose story is solid but whose prose needs sharpening.
- Copy Editing — grammar, punctuation, spelling, word choice, and style consistency. A thorough clean-up pass before your book goes to print or submission.
- Book Proofreading — final-pass polish before your Amazon KDP upload, IngramSpark release, or agent submission. The last expert eyes your manuscript needs.
- Beta Reading — honest reader-perspective feedback on engagement, pacing, clarity, and emotional impact. The smart first step before investing in a full edit.
- AI Book Editing — you drafted it with AI, I make it sound fully human. Sharp, polished, and publication-ready.
GENRES I EDIT
Fiction: Romance, Dark Romance, Thriller, Mystery, Horror, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Literary Fiction, Young Adult, Historical Fiction
Nonfiction: Memoir, Self-Help, Business, Personal Development, True Crime, Motivational
WHAT YOU GET ON EVERY PROJECT
- Tracked changes in MS Word or Google Docs
- Personalised editorial feedback on every decision
- Standard manuscript formatting for KDP and IngramSpark
- Turnaround: 3-5 business days per 10,000 words
- Open communication throughout the entire process
WHO I WORK BEST WITH
- First-time authors who need expert guidance and encouragement
- Self-publishing authors preparing for Amazon KDP or IngramSpark
- Authors querying literary agents with submission-ready manuscripts
- Nonfiction writers who need structure, clarity, and compelling narrative
- Romance and dark romance writers who need a genre-savvy novel editor
- Writers who used AI to draft their book and need professional ebook editing and AI book editing
Your manuscript deserves more than a quick fix. It deserves a book proofreader and editor who reads like a reader and thinks like a publisher.
