Eleanor Boyall – Editor

Over 10 years’ experience editing romance and fantasy. My NYT-bestselling clients have sold millions of copies.

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.

Eleanor was wonderful and I would love to work with her again. She provided thorough feedback that not just hit on the points that needed work but provided thoughtful options and suggestions on how to improve. She was honest in her assessment, but any criticism was provided in a very professional manner. My book will benefit greatly from her input.
