Chloe Moffett

Chloe Moffett – Editor

A versatile book editor with over 10 years of experience, specializing in literary fiction, sci fi/fantasy, and mental health nonfiction.

Overview

Throughout my career I've worked on almost every genre, from science textbooks to thrillers to literary fiction and cultural criticism. I have extensive experience in developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading, so I understand the entire life of a book and how to tailor my approach to the stage of writing.

No matter the genre, I love helping authors connect with their audience and making sure that their vision comes across in all its glory. At the beginning of a project, I always seek to understand exactly what an author is trying to accomplish so I can help them achieve their goals. Every book is different, and so is my editing approach.

I believe that how we write about the world and the words we choose are hugely important, and I can also offer sensitivity edits to make sure that your writing is respectful to all.

Let's make a book!

Chloe is awesome. Professional, patient, kind, down to earth, and very easy to work with. She's very helpful with my needs concerning my very limited knowledge of the different aspects of the system I'm using. Our collaboration is nearing its end, but I honestly can't wait to work with her on another book. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to make their work the best it can be.
Chloe M.
Thank you so much Alex! You were truly a pleasure to work with, and I can't wait to read your next book!

Chloe was a great communicator and editor. She took the time to understand what my vision was and help me achieve it. I received a developmental edit with lots of good ideas for how to improve my manuscript. Chloe is very friendly, flexible, and cooperative.
