Line editing for errors and clarity for a 78k word fantasy novel
Rebecca did a PHENOMENAL job editing my novel. She really truly *read it*, which, if you are looking for a first time editor, I can't emphasize how important is.
As in--it's one thing to edit a book, it's another to read & edit it.
Can't recommend her enough.
We just did line editing, but a bit of developmental and content editing as well, and I would highly refer her expertise in all those areas.

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!
