Overview
My published works as an author include Amazon Bestselling novels, ILLUSION (also the winner of the 2016 Novel of Excellence Award in Science Fiction) and IDENTITY, and internationally bestselling books, detective thriller SPIDER'S TRUTH and YA fantasy novel, THE JADE CASTLE, so I understand how incredibly important it is to find a competent editor who will give you individual attention–this is what I strive to do for my clients.

Work experience
Self-employed
As a contract/freelance editor I've worked with Acorn Publishing and book publishing coach, Christine Gail, and have worked with published (several bestsellers and award-winners, including Lorena Angell and Kat Ross) and first-time authors alike. I love working with both new and veteran writers.
My main focus is science fiction and fantasy, both YA and adult. I also enjoy working on memoirs and mysteries.
My goal as an editor is to help enhance the beauty of your voice/style while working through anything that bogs the story down. I want you to feel uplifted as a writer and encouraged to make changes to tell your story the best way possible. Let's make your book shine...
