Helping authors and publishers craft swoon‑worthy romances, intricately woven mysteries, and historically rich narratives—with precision and heart. I love partnering with authors who are ready to elevate their stories from good to unforgettable. With over a decade of editing experience, I specialize in spotting plot holes, inconsistencies, and narrative gaps that often slip past other eyes, ensuring your manuscript is both compelling and cohesive. As a native US English speaker with extensive experience in editing and proofreading, my goal is to ensure your ideas shine through with clarity and impact. I specialize in refining flow, enhancing readability, and tailoring each project to your unique voice, timeline, and creative vision. I’m fluent in both US and British English conventions, allowing me to tailor your manuscript to the appropriate audience with precision and consistency. Whether you need detailed feedback or discreet technical fixes, I offer flexible support to meet your needs. My passion lies in fiction, and I’ve worked across a wide range of genres—including Romance, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mysteries, Legal Thrillers, and more. I bring a sharp eye for detail and a deep respect for historical accuracy, especially in Regency‑era stories and Scottish Highlander novels. I hold a BA in English Language and Literature with a minor in Creative Writing, and I am a proud member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA), upholding industry‑recognized standards of quality and professionalism. My lifelong love of reading naturally evolved into a career in writing and editing. Typos and awkward phrasing make me wince—so let me help you polish your manuscript until it gleams.
