Grammar guru ready to help authors of YA, sci-fi and fantasy get their books into shape. I also love travel, historical fiction and memoirs!
Since returning to my first love, books, full time, I've edited a wide variety of popular novels (sci-fi, fantasy, action-adventure, historical, YA and more) and nonfiction, including memoirs, nature, travel, self-help and business books. I enjoy collaborating with independent authors but have also worked with a number of small publishers such as Hancock House, Contento de Semrik and Integrative Ink.
Supervised writers from interns to pros, worked with them on developing story ideas and refining their writing, ensured stories were free of mechanical errors and legal issues.
