    Language is my super power! You've got a brilliant manuscript, right, full of amazing plot twists and magnificent characters, but you need someone to rip apart the grammar and (very kindly) point out all the plot holes that need plugging? Well, thanks to my neurodivergent brain, I am obsessed with grammar and can nitpick the crap out of your plot holes. But don't worry -- I'll be nice about it. I specialize in American English for science fiction, fantasy, and almost all subgenres therein. The two exceptions to that would be paranormal romance and military sci fi. Nothing against those genres, but they're just not for me, and you want an editor who is immersed in books just like yours all the freaking time. So what genres do I splash into with gusto? Space Opera, Epic Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, First Contact Stories, Steampunk, Paranormal Cozy, High Fantasy, Low Fantasy, Paranormal Women's Fiction, Dystopia, Space Western, Magical Realism, Comic Sci Fi, Comic Fantasy, Hard Sci Fi, Dark Fantasy, Soft Sci Fi, Fairy Tale Retellings, Slipstream, Superheroes, Zombies, and probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head. What's it like to work with me? I work quickly and efficiently and my style of direct-but-kind communication has left many authors feeling motivated and inspired. My goal is to help you make your book the best it can possibly be and to help you grow your skills as a storyteller. Ultimately, however, it is your book and I am merely a guide. I would be honored to be a member of your publishing team. Alongside editing and proofreading services, I also offer sensitivity reading. As a person on the autism spectrum, I will read manuscripts written by non-autistic authors with autistic characters, and let you know what you got right, what you got wrong, what made me uncomfortable, and what made me feel seen. I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder as an adult, and will do best with characters who didn't grow up knowing they were autistic. That could be a character who still doesn't know but displays autistic traits or a character who suspects they may be autistic, as well as someone who has been diagnosed in adulthood. Please keep in mind that autism is a spectrum and that I will be evaluating based on my experience and the experience of others I know with the same diagnosis as me. It would be impossible for me to speak for all autistic persons.

    With over a decade of experience in the publishing industry, I’ve worked with indie authors, publishers, entrepreneurs, and creatives, helping them craft clean, professional, and engaging ebooks that are ready for publishing. I've been immersed in the world of ebooks, offering professional editing, meticulous proofreading, expert formatting, and eye-catching cover design. My journey began with a passion for words and storytelling, which evolved into a full-fledged professional pursuit. I believe that every ebook deserves to be presented in its best form, which not only captivates but also connects with readers. My approach combines attention to detail with creativity, ensuring that each ebook meets industry standards and the unique voice of the author. I'm excited about the possibility of working together to bring your vision to life with the following services: ✔ Professional Ebook Editing: Every great book deserves precision and finesse. I will check the structure, tone, and flow of your text, making meticulous edits to enhance clarity and readability. ✔ Expert Proofreading: Typos and grammatical errors can detract from even the most interesting book. I provide thorough proofreading services to eliminate grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency errors, ensuring your eBook is polished and professional. ✔ Ebook Formatting: Presentation matters. I will ensure your text is not only visually appealing but also tailored for platforms like Amazon Kindle (KDP) or EPUB. From layout to typography, I handle all aspects of eBook formatting to provide a seamless reading experience. ✔ Custom Ebook Cover Design: They say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” but a stunning cover is what makes a reader pick up a book in the first place. Leveraging my design skills, I will create eye-catching, genre-appropriate eBook covers that represent your content and increase your book’s marketability. Genres I Edit/Proofread - Action Adventure - Autobiographies - Business/Entrepreneurship - Children's Books - Coming of Age/Young Adult - Fantasy - Memoirs - Mystery - Personal Development/Self Help - Romance Partnering with authors and publishers, I’ve had the privilege of working across various genres and formats. My aim? To help you captivate your audience with an eBook they can’t put down. I genuinely care about your work, and I understand the details that matter. I'm excited to work with you. If you're ready to get started or have questions, send me a message. Let’s bring your ebook to life and get your readers hooked from the first page!

    I create print-ready custom-designed novels, self-help books, nonfiction titles, memoirs, and other long-format books complete with properly formatted headers and footers, drop caps, automatic tables of contents, foot- and endnotes, and wraparound covers. My ebook files include reflowable text, interactive tables of contents, and hyperlinked endnotes. I guarantee the successful uploading of all of my files onto your POD platform of choice and will be there with you until your book is perfect and published! I only use the gold standard—Adobe InDesign—for all book interior layouts and cover designs. (I do not design books in MS Word, Kindle Create, Atticus, or Vellum, etc.) You’ll need a completed, edited, and proofread manuscript before I start designing, but if your project is still in rough shape (or if you're not sure exactly *what* you need), don't worry—I can evaluate it for you, and can provide editorial services to perfect that manuscript before I start laying out a single page. I am a meticulous editorial designer who has been on both sides of the traditional publishing world—I am the author and photographer of two original needlework project books published by Random House, and I was the in-house production editor for a book publisher in the Pacific Northwest for several years. Currently, I am in the process of writing, photographing, and designing my own cookbook, which I am self-publishing in 2025. I also have an MFA in Creative Writing/Fiction, and I have to confess that novels (and cozy mysteries!) are my first and truest love! If you are an author who needs help making your book dreams a (formatted and finished) reality, please reach out. I'd love to hear about your project and see how I can help you!

    I am a skilled communicator with attention to detail, flexibility, problem-solving skills, and patience. I have 30 years' experience taking publications from concept, writing, and editing through to design and dissemination. * I am responsive. I will answer any queries in a matter of hours (if not minutes), not days. * I am quick, efficient, and cost-effective. On average, I am able to copy edit eight pages of text in an hour, depending on the level of editing necessary. * I am a one-stop shop. I have skills in writing, editing, and formatting/publication design. I am also able to remediate final pdfs for accessibility for the visually impaired. * I have the proven ability to sift through lengthy and technical source material and distill it down to what a member of the general public would need to know, and present that in language they can understand. * I am familiar with AP style, but have also edited to Chicago and house styles. Even though I am a strong proponent of the serial/Oxford comma, I can edit to remove those if desired. * I have access to the entire Adobe Creative Suite and standard Microsoft Office software package. While I am new to UpWork, I am not new to freelance writing and editing, having supported U.S. Agency for International Development and State Department foreign development aid programs for nearly nine years. Recent events, however, have led me to explore other opportunities.

    Experienced English language writer, proofreader, and developmental/line editor with expertise in sci-fi/fantasy fiction. I have worked alongside a multitude of writers with a wide range of backgrounds, styles, processes, and experience levels. No matter where you're coming from, I can help you achieve the very best version of your work. I particularly enjoy working with non-American writers, especially those who have a good grasp of English but for whom it is not their first language. This has allowed me a fascinating insight into how people of vastly different cultural and language backgrounds think and write. For these sorts of writers in particular, but also in general, I’ve found editing fiction to be deeply rewarding. I get to help shape someone’s incredible, unique ideas into a more accessible form, thus allowing the ideas to reach a wider audience. My current work primarily includes writing and editing for “The Wayward Realms,” an upcoming fantasy role-playing game developed by OnceLost Games. Besides working with other writers to create this new fantasy world, I am the sole line and developmental editor for all of the in-universe texts which are to appear in the game. Although the project as a whole may be classified under “sci-fi/fantasy,” the individual works I have edited run the gamut of genres in the context of the fictional world. These have mainly consisted of history, culture, religion, folklore/mythology, and fiction-within-fiction. Also included, however, are academic works, biographies, political/propaganda, instructions & guides, letters & journals, plays, poetry, and just about anything else you can imagine. One of my main responsibilities as Senior Editor for “The Wayward Realms” has also been the documentation of lore and maintaining of world consistency. This aspect of the job has demanded a great deal of researching and organizational skill. In addition to my experience as a writer and editor, I have a degree in Visual Communication, Layout Design, and Typography. I am willing and able to provide guidance in those areas as well to make your work look as good as it reads. My interests include world history, religions, culture, and mythology. I am always trying to expand my horizons in these areas. In my spare time I enjoy playing engaging, narrative-driven video games. I am actively looking for new partners and clients. If you have a project which could use someone with my skills and enthusiasm, please do not hesitate to reach out! Please note that due to an ongoing NDA, I am unfortunately unable to upload any examples of my recent work to this (or any) online platform. I have, however, been granted permission to send writing and editing samples upon request. So, if you would like to look over some of my work to see if I'd be a good fit for your project, please contact me and I will send them your way. Thanks!
