UNAVAILABLE FOR NEW PROJECTS UNTIL LATE SEPTEMBER, 2026. I'll still be online for messages but I currently don't have time for new projects. My availability is Monday - Friday, 8:30am - 4pm CST. My fee is also negotiable with the understanding that I have a full-time job, so I might not be available all the time. Feel free to reach out and message if you have any questions! While I primarily love Beta Reading, I'm also happy to do editing for your manuscript. I absolutely love books and the worlds they create. I'm a fast reader so I'm able to have a quick turnaround. I'm an avid reader and can find plot holes easily. I know my words only mean so much, but the reviews on my profile show that I'm willing and able to go above and beyond to do what you need to polish your manuscript. Relating to AI: I strongly believe that AI is a tool, and should never be used as a replacement. Using AI to help edit, or expand upon your own ideas, I understand. However, I personally do not support using AI to write books. So, I will not edit an AI written novel. Thank you for understanding. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would love to talk to you!

Throughout my career, I have edited fiction, nonfiction, magazine articles, and dissertation papers, including romance, inspirational romance, mysteries, and science fiction.
