Jaime Powell - Editor

Hello, you beautiful monsters!


It's me! Jaime Powell, editor extraordinaire! Let's jump right in! I am a professional editor, who has worked as a copy or line editor, and proofing editor. I am also an author who has 5 books with two different independent publishing houses and in 3 different genres.

I have edited almost all genres of fiction, but I specialize in and prefer horror, fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal, urban fantasy, magical realism, young adult, new adult, middle grade, and dystopian. If you wrote a romance, chances are I'm not the right fit for you. However, everyone loves a good romantic subplot! Even right now I am getting grabby hands just waiting to help out with all those beautifully written manuscripts.

I am a fulltime editor which means this is how I make my living and every manuscript will be as polished as I can make it. That way when you send it to the publishing houses of your choice, or are ready to self-publish, you will have a leg up on the competition!

Will you hate me at times? Of course. I am responsible for showing you what could be made better for your book which as an author myself, I sympathize. It's tough feeling like a stranger is messing with your baby. But that being said, you will find that I am your biggest cheerleader! By the time I am done, you'll have a manicured manuscript and a new best friend! (Yeah, I'm that good.) :)

I work now for Clean Reads Publishing as the lead editor and submissions manager. But I also have time for freelance work which is where you beautiful monsters come in! I always make time for new and exciting projects!

(On a side note, however, I would like to stress that I do not accept MSs that have disturbing sexual scenes such as rape.)

I have edited more than eighty manuscripts, 20 of which I have included here on my profile, and all of which hold 4-5 star reviews on Amazon. I am always available, as I keep Reedsy open on my computer all day, so feel free to hit me up! Can't wait to work with you!
