Overview
I am a professional editor with over 10 years' experience and numerous generous testimonials from my clients, all of which are on Google and/or TrustPilot. I've been working with Fuller Vigil, a publishing house for English-language, Latin America-themed books based in Colombia, for several years, and have edited ~60 books for Inkitt/Galatea, all of which have been published through their platform. In total, I have edited ~100 manuscripts, including AWARD-WINNING NOVELS, and coached ~20 authors. Further, I am a member of the Historical Novel Society and Society of Authors, as well as an entry-level member of the Chartered Institute of Editing & Proofreading.
I absolutely love a good ADVENTURE story (which I write myself and am a 2x shortlisted author for), especially in the genres of historical fiction, sci-fi/fantasy, and thriller. More than anything, I am a huge fan of imperfect, believable characters forced to confront both inner and external conflicts; I even have a psychology degree, so character development is something of a strength of mine. I love to get to know my clients so I can understand what truly matters to you and what you want out of your book as it's the best way I can help you bring your unique voice and storytelling techniques to the fore. You can expect honesty with kindness, a friend in the industry who is committed to helping you achieve your desired outcomes, and support and guidance for as long as you want it.
