Hire the Best Memoir Writing Freelancers in San Diego, CA

I'm a therapist turned copyeditor with a Copyediting Certificate from the UC San Diego Copyediting Certificate Program. I have a passion for storytelling and how authors develop characters and ideas through their unique styles. My background as a therapist enhances my ability to read a manuscript for authenticity of emotional expression, interpersonal dynamics, and sensitivity regarding people of marginalized communities, hot button issues, and other content that can be challenging to approach. This talent for communicating with clarity and precision makes me a fabulous line editor. I can tighten up writing where needed and identify when more exposition is beneficial to the plot or thesis of a manuscript. I believe that the author-editor relationship is most productive when it is a collaborative alliance. My goal is to support the author through empathic guidance, genuine curiosity, and encouragement. I want to see every author achieve their project goals! I can help you refine your draft, polish it to industry standards, and prepare it to be submitted for publishing. I offer copyediting, line editing, developmental editing, and manuscript evaluations. I work with fiction (romance, speculative, thriller, science fiction, fantasy) and nonfiction (self help, true crime, memoir, articles, presentations, blogs). My aim is to maintain your unique voice as the author and bring your best work to life!
