Overview
I’m a freelance editor with over ten years’ experience. Books I’ve edited have hit the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, been optioned for TV and sold millions of copies. My clients praise my insightful developmental editing, thorough copy-editing, and professional proofreading.
I primarily work in romance and fantasy (please send me your romantasy!), but I also love science fiction, thrillers and horror. Female-led and queer-centric stories are particularly welcome.
Whether you know exactly what your novel needs (but aren’t sure how to do it), or you’re not sure where to start, I can help you deliver the lush fantasy, heart-pounding action, swoony romance and sizzling spice that readers crave.
