Overview

As an editor and author, I've been on both sides of the table, and I know how it feels to receive critiques—which means I do my very best to make receiving my comments a positive experience, whether I'm working with you on line and developmental editing, copy editing, or proofreading. In my position of Editor in Chief at Outland Entertainment, I have provided developmental and line editing for a number of projects, including Robert Duperre's Knights Eternal series, Scott Colby's most recent Deviant Magic books, CG Volar's Static over Space: Gravity and Lies, Gwendolyn N. Nix's Sharks of the Wastelands, and more. I copy edit and proofread a number of titles in Outland's fiction and gaming departments, as well. I have also co-edited fantasy and science fiction anthologies including: Kaiju Rising 2: Reign of Monsters, Knaves: A Blackguards Anthology, Where the Veil Is Thin, APEX: World of Dinosaurs, Bridge to Elsewhere, and Never Too Old to Save the World. Through Reedsy, I have worked with self-published authors including Holly Ash, E. R. Donaldson, and Rayna Stiner as a copy editor, and have finished developmental edits for several authors seeking representation or traditional publishing opportunities.

Additionally, I work with clients to provide editorial and project management services for educational and reference projects. For Red Line, I have been working on series for elementary school students on digital privacy (ABDO) and infectious diseases (Capstone). I copy edited the forthcoming new edition of Writing that Works for Lumina Datamantics. I also provide ongoing project management, content development, and editorial services for the Something about the Author autobiography project for Gale Cengage.

While I am primarily interested in new assignments as an editor and would love to work directly with more authors, I am also a content creator. I am the author of novels Into the Reach, Departure, and Regaining Home, interactive multiple choice novel apps including Choice of Kung Fu and Choice of the Pirate, and comics including Cowboys and Aliens II and Ithaca. My game design work has been featured in Tiny Dungeon 2e: The Hatchling Edition, Steampunk Musha, the award winning Serenity Adventures, and Dungeon and Dragon magazines. I'm a frequent contributor to Kirkus Reviews and write articles on pop culture for Den of Geek and books for Paste Magazine.

I am currently only available for copy editing and proofreading assignments through Reedsy.

Alana was very professional and kind with suggestions while providing top notch editing. It was honest, insightful, and constructive. Even when something wasn't working in the story I always felt the feedback was trying to support my style and vision.
