Heather Creeden

Heather Creeden – Editor

I help authors polish their romance and fantasy stories that captivate readers, with over 5 years of editing and proofreading experience.

Overview

I’ve been editing books for more than five years, working with indie authors in romance, fantasy, romantasy, and more.

For me, editing is about more than fixing grammar and punctuation. I look at the full reading experience. Sentence flow, clarity, consistency, dialogue, pacing, word choice, and all the little details that can pull a reader out of the story. Most importantly, I want your book to still sound like you when I’m finished.

I offer line editing, copy editing, and proofreading. I’ve worked on everything from debut novels to established series. I understand how much time, heart, and work goes into writing a book, so I never take it lightly when an author trusts me with their manuscript.

When you work with me, you can expect honest feedback, clear communication, and thoughtful edits that are meant to strengthen your story, not change it into something it was never meant to be.

I love working with authors and being part of the process of getting a book one step closer to readers, and my goal is always for you to come away feeling more confident in your manuscript and excited about what you’ve created.
