**I am on medical leave until further notice (extending beyond my original back to work date of 05/10). Please check back this fall (September 2026). Thank you, and looking forward to speaking then :)** I get it! You’ve read your book hundreds of times and can’t tell if it’s missing that certain something. You need a professional's perspective—someone who can step in and point out the good, the bad, and the ugly. Or perhaps they’ll say, “You’ve got something here.” I’m that person. I’ll read your manuscript and tell you what works and what doesn’t, all while being constructive, insightful, and friendly. Here are all the editing services I offer. I can do multiple, or one, whatever your book needs :) Developmental Editing: Stuck on a scene? Where to steer the plot? Wondering if your chapters pack the punch you’re hoping they do? Maybe you've gotten feedback that something just doesn't “land.” Or maybe you've been told your ending is “lackluster” or “disappointing.” I can help! I’ll read through, provide professional feedback on your developmental issue, and recommend how to fix it. Want just an overall check that everything checks out and you’re book is ready to move onto the next stage? I can provide a 3-8 page report providing feedback on things like plot, emotional pay-off, overall strengths, weaknesses, structure, organization, flow, pacing, and more. Just ask me for a developmental edit! Line Editing: “Your book is confusing,” “What does this mean?”, "I can't tell what you’re trying to say here,” “this isn't clear,” “the writing lacks emotion and imagery,” ever heard any of these? Well, leave them behind! I can go through your book line by line and bring the best out of your writing while maintaining your voice. I’ll get your point across when you get lost in the message, leading to complicated sentences or hard-to-understand phrases. Editorial Assessment: Is my book good enough? Will it appeal to readers of its genre? Can it stack up against those on the bestseller shelves? How are my characters? Relatable? Is the plot engaging? I’m just stuck, and I don't know where to go! Let me read it and provide a 3-8 page Editorial Assessment. I’ll tell you exactly what your next steps should be. It might be, “Great idea, but this part needs a bit of extra attention," or it might be, “next stop, New York Times!” I’ve seen it all, read it all, and edited it all. Let me be that professional eye that evaluates your book. After the Editing stage? I can give you some reader insight with Beta Reading. Not only do I read constantly for work, but books have been a passion of mine since I could first read words! I can give you an opinion before it hits the shelves. Let me take a look and tell you what readers may like, not like, be thrilled by, and whether or not your book will leave a lasting impression on them. Get a true reader's first impression! Need something a little different? I'm a certified Proofreader! Let me figure out if that needs to be a colon or a semicolon. Let me decipher the punctuation around quotation marks you don't remember being taught in Elementary School. I will treat your book like it's one of my own with a keen eye and find all those subtle proofreading nuances! Read all this and left going, “I'm just not sure what my book needs Leah!” Ask me! I’d love to discuss it! Look below for my experience and accomplishments! :) Certified Editor, experienced Beta Reader and Certified Proofreader with experience working with published authors.

I bring a wealth of information and experience to each project. After more than 20 years working in retail advertising and handling several positions: proofreader, print buyer, media manager, broadcast & web writer, and copy manager, I decided to go freelance about 17 years ago. I relish the challenge of working on different projects for multiple clients and consistently bringing new life to stale ideas. I enjoy educating the reader, making him/her laugh, or simply making something that could be boring and lifeless into copy that intrigues and is easily understood. With my retail background I am consistently focused on selling whether that means a product, an idea, or a way of life. One quality that makes me different from many other people is that I am as adept at scrutinizing the details (composing indices for 300+ page catalogs by hand, proofreading/editing, or being responsible for a multi-million dollar budget) as I am at being creative. That means I work equally well whether given tight parameters or let loose to run through the fields of my imagination and have a chat with the voices in my head. I ensure that the customer is happy with the final product and I strive to do the best job possible, be on point, and on time.
