    I’m a freelance editor with over 20 years of experience—longer if you count all the typos I used to find in my early reader books. And I NEVER use AI. I love the English language (even if teaching it, or even fully understanding it, is fraught with trouble). My job is to make everything you do better. I have edited for traditionally published authors (like Elise Title who has published dozens of romance novels for Harlequin as well as psychosexual thrillers like Romeo for Bantam), and I have also worked with self-published authors, and even authors who just want to make their passion project perfect for themselves. “What about nonfiction books, Rebecca?” Yep, those too; everything from business manuals like Code–Measure–Improve by Adam Schwartz and Deborah Walsh, to self-help relationship books like Relationship Cleanup by Elise and Dr. Jeffrey Title. A special place in my clichéd heart is reserved for children’s and YA lit. I would call it nostalgia if I didn’t still read them for my own enjoyment. There is room in that aforementioned clichéd heart for my first love—poetry. When I was a child, my big brother read Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss to me until I memorized all my favorites. In sixth grade, when my English teacher read “Suicide’s Note” by Langston Hughes—my trajectory immediately changed. I studied poetry and poetics in college for my final thesis. I think that knowing the way words work in poetry gives me a unique perspective that serves to enhance my editing skills.

    I'm a PhD student in English at Yale with two starred first-class degrees in English from the University of Cambridge (BA & MPhil) and a degree in creative writing from the Helen Zell Writers' Program at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (MFA), where I won a Hopwood. Clients whose applications I've edited have been accepted into top business schools (Yale, NYU, Columbia, etc.), PhD programs (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Penn, the University of Chicago, Boston University, the University of Michigan, etc.), MFA programs, law schools and technical schools. I can edit both undergraduate and graduate applications, cover letters, statements of purpose, etc. I'm also a longtime editor of poetry and can edit book manuscripts (fiction, nonfiction, and poetry) and other portfolios of creative work: I was a senior editor in poetry at THE ADROIT JOURNAL for nearly ten years and currently am an assistant editor of THE YALE REVIEW. My own poetry has appeared in POETRY MAGAZINE, NARRATIVE MAGAZINE, BEST NEW POETS, COPPER NICKEL, THE IOWA REVIEW, THE KENYON REVIEW, PASSAGES NORTH, PLEIADES, SALT HILL, THE RUMPUS, TRIQUARTERLY, WEST BRANCH, BLACKBOX MANIFOLD, MIZNA, PERIPHERIES, THE DRIFT, THE MISSOURI REVIEW, THE GEORGIA REVIEW, and elsewhere.

    I work with authors and publishers, primarily in the romance and fantasy genres, to elevate the quality of their books through multiple stages of editing. I have years of experience editing romance and fantasy novels, including work with many tropes and sub-genres. I especially love editing queer romance, dark romance, and paranormal romance. We could be a great fit if you are: 1) A romance or fantasy author looking for an editor before you self-publish, or before submitting your manuscript to traditional publishers 2) A publisher who specializes in romance or fantasy novels looking for a consistent, reliable editor to help with plot development, developmental edits on first drafts, line editing, or copyediting/proofreading. I love romance and fantasy books, and I understand what makes a story great. I love playing “book doctor”—finding things that aren’t working in the story and giving solid, actionable feedback to fix it. And I understand the nitty gritty details of working with the English language to communicate a story to the reader. I follow the Chicago Manual of Style, while deferring to each author’s unique voice, and I make all edits in Word using Track Changes. Send me a message with your word count, genre, timeline, and the type of editing you’re looking for, and we can get started!

    Versatile fiction editor for your developmental, line, or copy editing needs. I'll assess your manuscript and provide in-depth feedback on large scale issues like plot holes, timelines, and characterization, finer details like the flow of your sentences, and minutiae like consistent spelling and proper grammar. A developmental edit will include an editorial letter with feedback and suggestions for addressing any major issues. As a beta reader, I provide feedback with both inline comments and a summary document. Feedback includes my thoughts on characters, plot, world building, and my overall reader impressions. My work never uses AI, and I don't want to work on writing that was AI generated. I can't wait to start working with you!

    Hello to you all. I'm Taylor, and I'm a twenty-eight-year-old with a bachelor's degree in English. I've copy edited, proofread, ghostwritten, and done SEO work, so I'm not limited to a single type of work. I'm adaptable and flexible, and I'm dedicated to my work. All told, I've ghostwritten over 600,000 words. When it comes to ghostwriting specifically, ideally I would like to stick to fiction, but I am open to nonfiction, as well. I've primarily been acting as an editor for the last few years, though, and my largest editing project was for a novel that was over 115,000 words. I can type at roughly 90 words per minute with 96% accuracy, and combining that with my familiarity with the English language means there are very few editing projects that I can't tackle. I'm also familiar with all aspects of Microsoft Office and Google's equivalents, like Google Docs.

    I'm a developmental editor and writing coach focused on helping writers get unstuck and stay motivated. Through weekly sessions, I check in with writers to learn about their writing process and to offer guidance on plot, story, dialogue and character. I like the interaction that comes with in-person (or digital) sessions; I'm always excited to hear what my authors have been working on. Some recent projects I've worked on that I loved: - A memoir/cookbook by a triathlete who wanted to share her non-recipes and get others excited to experiment in the kitchen - A memoir following a teacher's journey into education -- and the bumps along the way - A paranormal romance focused on a shapeshifter team and a woman with a secret

In my day job, I train editors on content and substance edits, line and copy edits, SEO, fact checking, interviewing and many other skills. I'm interested in working on a wider range of subjects and styles here than I'm able to 9-5. I'm excited to help with: Substance edits and manuscript feedback; Content and structure edits; Line edits for readability, tone and clarity; and Proofreading. The editor's job is to act as a stand-in for the reader, catching and addressing anything that the writer could improve for them. Great editors can explain not only the improvements they're making, but why they made those choices and how the writer can grow.
