Most authors reach a point where they can no longer see their manuscript clearly.
You’ve read the same chapters too many times. The scenes that felt emotionally powerful while writing may no longer land the same way on the page. Pacing issues become invisible. Repetition hides in plain sight. What sounds clear in your head may not yet be clear to your reader.
That’s normal.
Writing a book requires immersion. Editing a book requires distance.
My role is to close the gap between the manuscript you intended to write and the experience your readers will actually have.
I’m a professional manuscript editor, book editor, and ghostwriter helping authors transform rough drafts, unfinished ideas, and AI-assisted manuscripts into polished, publish-ready books that feel cohesive, compelling, and professionally written.

I am a heart-centered, human-powered editor and publishing consultant. In 2025, I supported more than 30 authors with nearly 60 books. I focus on making children’s books shine by uncovering the heart of the story and helping to ensure that message is developed on every page. I have served award-winning and best-selling authors, and I have coached first-time authors through publishing their debut picture book.
Working with thoughtful and creative authors is an honor and a joy, and I love helping them shape their stories and enhance the messages they have prepared for young hearts.
Working with me is not a transaction but a partnership, and together we will create something beautiful. My service model includes close collaboration and a team effort to make your story the best version of itself.
***Now booking for mid-April 2026. See pricing below the description of my services.***
What It's Like to Work with Me:
I take time to get to know you and your goals for the project before jumping in. We'll talk about what you hope to accomplish, areas you feel strong in, and where you may need extra support. I'll briefly review your manuscript to determine the level of editing it requires so I can offer you a custom quote. You'll love my warm, encouraging style.
Editing and Proofreading:
I offer all levels of editing for children's books, from picture books and early readers to chapter books and middle-grade fiction. This includes:
- Developmental Editing – I review the story structure, the character arc, plot, pacing, themes, age appropriateness, and more. I leave in-text comments pointing out specific areas for improvement as well as celebrating things you've done well. I also write up a developmental letter with notes for how to improve your story and guidance on the most important steps to take. This stage may take more than one pass as we clarify your story's theme and how to convey the message you want to share.
- Line Editing – Once the structure is in place, I look at your story line by line, focusing on improving flow, exploring rhythm (even in non-rhyming books), clarifying tone, refining your characters' voices, and adjusting vocabulary and sentence structure to fit the developmental needs of your intended audience.
- Copyediting and Proofreading – This final stage of editing ensures correct grammar, usage, and consistency throughout your book. I follow guidelines established by The Chicago Manual of Style, the industry standard in publishing.
Pricing:
Picture Books (up to 1,000 words):
- Editorial Assessment: $140; 1 week
- Developmental Editing – $275; 2–3 weeks
- Line Editing – $195 ($250 for rhyme); 2–3 weeks
- Copyediting – $110; 1 week
- Full-Service Editing Bundle: $495; 4–6 weeks
- Signature Package: $715 ((full-service editing + design/illustration consulting + publishing assistance; requires coordination with illustrator)
Longer Works (10,000 words+):
- Editorial Assessment: $0.015 per word
- Developmental Editing: $0.035 per word
- Line Editing: $0.03 per word
- Copyediting: $0.025 per word
- Formatting: $3.50 per page; only offered to editing clients
Some bundles available. Priority projects are charged a separate rate.
Writing for children is an art—and it’s an honor to help you bring your story to life with clarity, beauty, and heart.
Design Consulting:
I offer holistic planning for picture book design. My goal is to help the text and illustrations work together harmoniously. Using a storyboard (or book map), I help authors communicate their page designs to illustrators so that text placement is intentional, creating a cohesive design. And, as the visual storytelling takes shape, I offer ongoing line editing support to create a tight, cohesive book. My goal is to replicate the process established in traditional publishing houses. This seems to be an important component often missing the self-publishing process.
Kindle Direct Publishing and IngramSpark Support:
Additionally, I offer assistance with publishing your book. This includes layout and design support. I use InDesign to lay out and typeset books. I can also help you upload your book to Amazon (KDP) and IngramSpark. You will receive guidance on your book descriptions and promotional copy as well as promotional guidance.
I offer a "one-stop-shop" to encourage and empower authors to get their meaningful books out into the world. I'd love to discuss how I can support you!
