If you are looking for a seasoned editor with a sharp eye, a love for language, and an undying adherence to the rules of English grammar, both US and UK, look no further.
I have twenty years of experience in professional editing and proofreading, assisting writers through all stages of the publication process. My past and present clients include authors (fiction, non-fiction, memoir, poetry, and experimental), publishers, marketing firms, entrepreneurs, content creation companies, academic, financial, and health publications, and news outlets.
Though I can help you perfect any type of text, my specialty is manuscript editing. I have a passion for elevating books to the next level in terms of story, structure, character development, dialogue, readability, and grammar. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Classics and have spent many years meticulously adhering to style guide specifications (Chicago Manual of Style, AP, APA, and MLA, among others).
I look forward to working with you.

I’ve worked on a variety of editing projects across nonfiction, fiction, academic writing, and other online content.
I’ve edited nonfiction ebooks, including wellness guides, how-to content, and cookbooks for specific dietary needs. My work focuses on improving structure, flow, and helping authors communicate their message clearly.
In fiction, I’ve edited essays and ebooks across different genres, paying close attention to tone, pacing, and consistency while preserving the writer’s voice.
For academic writing, I’ve polished university entrance letters, literary analyses, and research-based essays to meet high academic standards, ensuring the writing is clear, organized, and effective.
I’m focused on helping writers shape their work into something they feel confident about. Whether you’re working on an article, a manuscript, or an academic piece, I’ll help refine it with care, precision, and respect for your voice.

I work with authors and publishers, primarily in the romance and fantasy genres, to elevate the quality of their books through multiple stages of editing. I have years of experience editing romance and fantasy novels, including work with many tropes and sub-genres. I especially love editing queer romance, dark romance, and paranormal romance.
We could be a great fit if you are:
1) A romance or fantasy author looking for an editor before you self-publish, or before submitting your manuscript to traditional publishers
2) A publisher who specializes in romance or fantasy novels looking for a consistent, reliable editor to help with plot development, developmental edits on first drafts, line editing, or copyediting/proofreading.
I love romance and fantasy books, and I understand what makes a story great. I love playing “book doctor”—finding things that aren’t working in the story and giving solid, actionable feedback to fix it. And I understand the nitty gritty details of working with the English language to communicate a story to the reader. I follow the Chicago Manual of Style, while deferring to each author’s unique voice, and I make all edits in Word using Track Changes.
Send me a message with your word count, genre, timeline, and the type of editing you’re looking for, and we can get started!
