Overview
In addition to overall development of characters and plot that remain true to your writing voice, I am also very detail-oriented and deliver a thorough line-by-line edit. I understand the joys—and challenges—of writing and revising a book and can offer an encouraging voice throughout the process. I enjoy getting to know my authors and am open to discussing ideas and concepts while figuring out how they fit into the larger story.
Your readers are waiting for the book only you can write, and I can't wait to help you share this gift with the world.
