You finished that manuscript!

But you’re not sure it all flows. You’re not sure that character’s voice remains consistent throughout. You’re not sure each scene logically follows the one that came before.

Or maybe you’re just not sure all your periods and commas are in the right place?

Or maybe you haven’t finished that manuscript at all?

Whatever the case: I can help!

I’m a certified copyeditor with a strong penchant for developmental editing in the realm of fiction. Make no mistake: I also love mechanical editing; getting into the nitty-gritty of grammar and punctuation and sentence structure is something I’ve always enjoyed. But what really floats my boat is helping with the bigger-picture stuff: themes, motifs, character voice, character motivation, internal logic, etc.

I love working with writers of all kinds, but there’s something especially satisfying about helping take a good writer’s work into the realm of greatness.

Let me help you access the infinite wealth of story and character lurking just beneath the surface of your conscious mind!
