Book Editor & Ghostwriter | Developmental | Line | Copy | KDP Formatting Most authors come to me after realizing the same thing: a talented writer and a publication-ready manuscript are not the same thing. I've worked with 25+ authors across fiction and nonfiction. The gap between the two is almost never about talent. It's structure. Voice. Consistency. The things a good editor catches before a publisher or reader does. My background is a little unusual. Before books, I was a field journalist and correspondent, an information assurance manager at Leidos, and an analyst with the FBI. That history shows up in how I read. I notice what's missing from a narrative. I flag accuracy and consistency problems that slip past readers who aren't trained to look. I think at the structural level, whether that's plot or argument, because that's how I was trained to work with documents. A Christian fiction novel gets the same attention I once gave federal-level work. What I do: Ghostwriting For authors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who have the ideas and need someone to build the manuscript. I work from conversations, emails, or outlines and write in your voice. Fiction and nonfiction: novels, business books, memoirs, self-help, personal development. Developmental Editing Plot structure, character arcs, pacing, point of view, narrative logic, audience alignment. The big-picture pass everything else depends on. Line Editing Sentence and paragraph-level work. Your voice stays intact. The weak spots get fixed. Copy Editing Grammar, punctuation, timeline consistency, style guide adherence. Chicago Manual of Style, APA, MLA, or your publisher's house style. Proofreading The final pass before your manuscript goes to an agent, publisher, or self-publishing platform. KDP & Kindle Formatting Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing formatting for self-publishing authors, ebook and print-ready. Beta Reading & Manuscript Critique Detailed reader feedback with marketability evaluation. Full editorial letters for authors still working through early revision. Genres I work in: Christian and inspirational fiction. Romance (contemporary, historical, paranormal). Memoir and personal narrative. Business, self-help, and personal development. Health, wellness, and lifestyle. Literary and women's fiction. Creative nonfiction. Faith-based manuscripts are a particular strength. I understand both the spiritual content and the publishing landscape for Christian literature, and those aren't the same thing. What every project includes: Track Changes and detailed margin comments throughout. A custom style sheet built for your book: character names, preferred spellings, stylistic choices, timeline notes. Developmental and line edits include a full editorial letter. I'm available for follow-up questions once you're working through revisions. Before we start: I offer a sample edit on your first 1,000 to 1,500 words at no charge. You'll see how I work before committing to anything. Google Docs or Microsoft Word with Track Changes. Complete confidentiality. Delivery on the agreed timeline. Send me a message with your genre, word count, and timeline.

Most drafts are 90% there. I close the gap. The manuscript that opens cleanly on every device, the thesis formatted correctly before the deadline, the sentence that finally flows — none of that happens by accident. It happens because someone went through the work carefully and cared about the details the author was too close to see. That's what I do. I'm a writer and editor with a background in manuscript editing, academic proofreading, KDP publishing, and legal transcription. I work with authors, researchers, professionals, and small teams — anyone who has done the hard work of producing something and needs a skilled, reliable person to help them finish it right. Copyediting & Proofreading Grammar, punctuation, clarity, consistency, and flow — edited in Track Changes so every decision is visible and reversible. Longer projects include a style sheet on request. You get a marked-up file, a clean final, and notes on patterns worth knowing for next time. Academic Proofreading & Style Editing Essays, theses, dissertations, and journal submissions aligned to APA, MLA, Chicago, or AP style. Citations checked, formatting corrected, academic register preserved. Your argument stays yours. I just make sure the presentation doesn't undermine it. KDP & Print Formatting Full formatting for EPUB and print PDF: trim size, margins, bleed, gutter, front and back matter, linked TOC, headers, footers, and consistent typography throughout. Every file is tested in Kindle Previewer before delivery. What you upload is what readers see. Writing — Bios, Blurbs, Queries & Light Ghostwriting I read what you've already written before producing a single word, so everything sounds like you on your best day. Author bios, back-cover blurbs, query letters, blog posts, articles, and web copy. Light ghostwriting available for longer projects — scope clarified upfront. Beta Reading Honest, reader-focused feedback on pacing, structure, character consistency, and whether the manuscript holds attention all the way through. Organized written notes you can act on — not vague encouragement. Transcription Legal-grade transcription of interviews, depositions, and witness statements. NFPA-style narrative or verbatim with identified speakers. Accurate, confidential, and ready to use without additional cleanup. Every project includes: Track-changed file + clean final copy Agreed scope and milestones before work begins Sample edit available before you commit

I’m a professional ghostwriter and editor specializing in memoir, personal essay, narrative nonfiction, and voice-driven genre fiction projects. My background spans literary publishing, developmental editing, education, and full-manuscript collaboration with authors and other storytellers. I help clients translate their ideas or lived experience into polished, emotionally-resonant prose, keeping with their voice and their exact specifications. Whether shaping a memoir from raw drafts or refining fiction for traditional publication, I aim to be a reliable, flexible, and detail-oriented creative partner to my clients, understanding both the art and the discipline required to finish strong work. In addition to my ghostwriting practice, I am the founder of the dedicated horror publication, The Dread Literary Review, which has honed my ability to evaluate narrative stakes, pacing, and voice at a granular level, and has given me extensive experience developing genre fiction while respecting each author’s stylistic intent. I also bring with me years of experience in education and psychology, which informs how I approach collaboration. This background has given me a strong foundation in interpersonal communication, audience awareness, and structural discipline, all valuable when working on complex and personal material. My process is collaborative, structured, and transparent. I welcome open communication and feedback throughout the drafting stages, ensuring the work stays aligned with your vision. Confidentiality, discretion, and respect for authorship are central to every project I take on. Over the course of my career, I have had the pleasure of working with Emmy award winners, Pushcart Prize nominees, and traditional literary publications. I’m especially well suited for projects that require emotional intelligence, precise voicing, and stylistic restraint. My goal is never to overwrite or impose a signature style, but to strengthen your ideas and refine the language until the work reads fluently, confidently, and unmistakably as your own.
