I bring a unique perspective to the book editing world. My career is in psychology and social work, and I have over 10 years of experience in book reviewing and content creation, which has further shaped my editing lens.
I am deeply involved in the book community from the consumer and reviewer side, meaning that I am plugged in to what the reading community is looking for. The publishing industry moves slowly and can be an echo chamber. I view editing from a number of different angles: the craft as well as awareness of audience and the discussions that readers are having about books.
I can help you take your unique vision and polish it. I don't want you to be trapped inside the small box of what publishing deems worthy - I want you to succeed!
NOTE: I am currently booked for 2026. I may open up additional editing slots later in the year depending on my schedule so if you are interested, please send me an email to be added to the waiting list. Depending on the length of story, I may be able to provide rush editing for 2026 for an additional fee.
I am still taking book coaching clients for all of 2026.
I provide editing services for adult, new adult, and YA novels and novellas.
I do not accept editing projects for: children’s lit, middle grade, horror, literary fiction, contemporary, poetry, non-fiction, thriller/mystery, comedy, Christian fiction, or short stories.
All editing services are for completed manuscripts only. Please see below for additional services that can be applied to uncompleted work, as well as book coaching.
| Manuscript Evaluation | Developmental Editing | |
|---|---|---|
| Description | A big picture look at your manuscript - consider it a more in-depth beta read. Good for first drafts that have undergone edits from critique partners or beta readers. This type of edit focuses on the same elements as a developmental edit without the heavy cost and detailed line edits. | A detailed, line by line analysis of your work to make it the best it can be. This type of edit involves a heavily annotated manuscript of marginal comments as well as an editorial letter. |
| Pricing | $0.005/word | $0.01/word |
| Features | A multiple page editorial letter providing broad feedback on strengths and weaknesses of world-building, plot, characters, and prose, as well as recommendations for revisions and improvement. Editorial letter will be broken down by sections/acts of the novel to provide further feedback on structures and arcs, and to identify any weak points. | In-line comments with recommendations for revisions and improvements on the following: |
| • plot and subplots | ||
| • characters and arcs | ||
| • dialogue flow and believability | ||
| • world-building | ||
| • pacing | ||
| • basic formatting | ||
| • prose | ||
| Additionally, an editorial letter will be provided summarizing the information in the line comments. Editorial letter will include summaries of strengths and weaknesses as well as overall feedback on the work. |
All edits include: genre feedback (if you are meeting expectations of the genre, correction of any tropes or overuse of tropes, etc) and book title feedback.
I offer a free sample edit of your first 1,000 words and a free quote to ensure we’d be a good fit. If I start your project and discover we are not a good fit or your work isn’t ready for the type of edit you ordered, you will be refunded payment, minus the rate for words already read and edited. Editing services require 20% downpayment.
These smaller services can be added on to an existing editing service or used for uncompleted work. All editing services (listed above) are for completed manuscripts only.
