Hello!
I’ve been editing and proofreading since 2014, working with projects ranging from academic essays, fiction, employee handbooks, software manuals, AI- generated content, and slides for a medical student app.
I make four passes through manuscripts for a typical project, focusing on spelling, grammar, punctuation, phrasing, flow, conciseness, and continuity. The fourth pass also checks over my work. Occasionally, I’ll add a pass or two, depending on a client’s request.
I’ve been using the Chicago Manual of Style since the seventh edition and carry a hard copy of the newest edition when I travel in case I need to use it. I’m also familiar with APA and MLA.
I’m a self-starter, well-organized, self-sufficient, and I hold confidentiality in high regard. I won’t hesitate to ask if I’m unsure about an instruction or need clarification. I might be responsible for enhancing someone else’s writing, but it’s that individual’s voice and intention instead of mine. I’m always available for questions and usually respond to messages within an hour. It can take up to three hours—or longer, depending on cellular service—to respond on travel days.

I am an avid reader, starting at age 3. I began devouring books at an early age, and developed vocabulary and comprehension levels far exceeding testing range early in my educational career. Unfortunately, due to constraints, I was never permitted to flourish or explore furthering my education past graduating high-school. However, my love for reading has never ceased. I have been an HARC Book reviewer, with my reviews published on Amazon, and am currently a product reviewer for Amazon. My favorite genres are Murder Mysteries, Mysteries, Romance, Young Adult, Fantasy and Historical Fiction, although if it piques my interest I will read just about anything. In 2024, I was able to read 271 books, so reading on a deadline is no problem. I am conscientious, prompt and value open communication. I look forward to working with you.

I’m a professional beta reader who provides clear, thoughtful, reader-focused feedback to help authors strengthen their stories before publication.
I focus on how a manuscript reads—pacing, character development, emotional impact, clarity, and overall engagement—while respecting the author’s voice and vision. My feedback is honest, constructive, and practical, designed to help you see your story the way a real reader experiences it.
Depending on your needs, my beta reading services can include:
• Overall reader impressions
• Pacing and tension feedback
• Character believability and consistency
• Plot clarity and potential gaps
• Scene-level or chapter-level comments

There's such artistry involved in communication. We, as a species, evolved from grunts and gestures to wordplay, metaphors, and multi-syllable rhyming.
That takes dedication, and as someone devoted to her craft, I am a storyteller with a silver quill and a silver tongue. To quote Nabokov, "...I have only words to play with."
Here's what I can do for you:
➼ SCRIPTWRITING
With 10+ years of experience, I specialize in crafting content on holistic wellness, spirituality, self-help, psychology, and narrative-heavy topics. Words carry emotion, drawing readers in with every sentence—you’ll see it in everything I write.
➼BOOK EDITING
Whether nonfiction or fiction, I adapt to your tone and elevate your work.
Nonfiction: memoir, narrative nonfiction, self-help, transformational content, educational material.
Fiction: horror, romance, thriller.
To quote an old ditty, "Star made the beat. I just took it out the oven." I’ll coax the potential out of your manuscript and nurture it to glorious fruition, shaping both line-level clarity and big-picture storytelling.
➼COURSE CREATION
I’ve created 15+ courses on the law of attraction, shadow work, energy work, and self-help. From research to curriculum development and scriptwriting, I help you create programs students resonate with.
➼BETA READING
Try saying the word toad 50 times. At some point, it stops sounding like a real word. That's what endlessly tinkering on a project can feel like. You don't know what you're doing anymore or whether it's any good. We've all been there!
Sometimes, you need a fresh perspective—someone with industry expertise—to cut through the fog and catch what you might have missed. Let me review your work and help tighten the screws of your manuscript- Whether it's fiction or non-fiction.
➼ SPIRITUAL COACHING & SHADOW WORK
With 10 years of spiritual life coaching, I help you reconnect with the abandoned and rejected parts of yourself through mindset rewiring and reparenting. Topics I cover: manifestation, shadow work, relationships, mindset, and more.
Transformation requires bravery and commitment—it goes beyond managing symptoms.
Now, how can I help you? :) —let's collaborate!
