Summary

I’m looking for an editor who enjoys character-driven fiction, emotional realism, and collaborative relationships with authors. Experience editing contemporary fiction, women’s fiction, LGBTQ+ fiction, or relationship-centered fiction. Strong line-editing skills that strengthen voice rather than replace it. Copy-editing experience with consistency, continuity, and style. Someone interested in working across multiple books rather than a one-time project. Honest, thoughtful feedback that challenges the writing while respecting the author’s vision. The Stories These novels are romances, but they are also stories about purpose, identity, community, and second beginnings. Relationships are central, yet the books are equally interested in work, friendship, place, and the ways people’s lives quietly intersect over time. The writing emphasizes emotional authenticity over high drama. Please include: A short introduction about yourself. Your editing background and genres of experience. Whether you provide line editing, copy editing, or both. Typical turnaround times. Sample edit availability. Your pricing or rate sheet. Links to books you've edited, if available. More than anything, I'm looking for someone who enjoys helping authors build lasting bodies of work. My goal isn't simply to publish books—it's to create an interconnected world that readers will want to return to for years to come.
