    Hi! I’m a thirty-something southern California native with a BA in English Literature and Language and nearly ten years of experience in academic writing and tutoring. While I wish I could say I consistently worked in my field after graduation, my path was a bit more unconventional, and I spent six years employed by one of the big five tech companies. After a number of life updates (and a few bumps along the way), I recalibrated to prioritize my goals and found myself back in school to gain additional education in editing from UCLA. This education combined with my experience in the tech world has put me in a unique position to work in the booming publishing industry, but I also bring my personal passions to the table; as an avid reader, I’m up on the trends, the tropes, and what today’s readers look for when finding their next read. Combining these very different types of knowledge enables me to better work with indie authors as they prepare for publication, whether through self-publishing via an online platform or submitting to a publishing house for print. Ultimately, my goals are to make editing more accessible to new and independent authors, and contribute to the greater community of literature enthusiasts by assisting diverse authors in finding their voice, their audience, and their success. My speciality is adult fiction with a romantic plot or subplot in the paranormal, fantasy, historical, and contemporary genres, but I’m happy to work with authors on a number of other projects. I offer a variety of editing services that can be tailored to each author’s needs, including beta reading, proofreading, copyediting, and line editing. Editors help authors tell stories that are clear, coherent, and engaging. Throughout the editing process, we’ll work together to ensure that you’re saying what you mean—and meaning what you say. Beta reading will help flesh out the story in its earliest stages by providing feedback on your ideas. Line editing will address any big picture technical or literary style issues, and copyediting will delve into the minutia of consistency, sentence structure, and grammar. Already completed editing and needing a final check of punctuation and spelling? Proofreading is an affordable option when you’re in the last stages before publication and want to avoid the potential embarrassment of typos. Not sure where to start? Contact me for a free consultation, and we’ll discuss when to begin the editing process, what services will best suit your needs, and how to make the most of your budget.
