Ivy L. James – Editor

I've been editing professionally for over 12 years, with both technical and creative works. In publishing, I spent 2 years with the former Astraea Press and am now working with Storm Publishing. I've offered freelance edits (line, copy, and proof) for manuscripts since January 2021, specializing in adult genre fiction. I've worked the most with romance, erotica, and fantasy. I'm especially excited to work with queer stories!

My focus is on clarity. I want to maintain your voice as the author while ensuring readers will understand what you're trying to say.

I default to Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster, but I'll use your preferred style guide and dictionary. I use US English myself, but I've worked with authors who use Canadian, British, and Australian English as well.

In my spare time, I read and write sapphic romance and poetry. I enjoy spending time with my partner and our pets in Sedona, AZ.

Note: I do not use AI, and I prefer not to work with manuscripts generated by AI.
