NY Times Bestselling Editor with low wait times and 15+ years of experience. Specializing in Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Mystery/Thriller, and Romance!

Overview

New York Times Bestselling Editor, Top 10 Bestselling Author with 500k in sales. Has worked with tens of thousands of authors over the past dozen years to produce and promote books, leading to millions of book sales.

More than just making corrections to grammar and punctuation, what I try to do is create a writing course tailored to your specific needs based around your manuscript. Expect lots of comments and edits in the track changes that will teach you important aspects of writing fiction and serve you well for everything you write. Hiring an editor is an investment in your writing ability as much as it's about perfecting your book, and my goal is to make sure that investment pays off for you many times over.

*A professional operation with low wait times and fast turnaround times
*An emphasis on writing skills and comments to help you improve as a writer while getting your book ready for publishing
*A dozen years in the publishing industry with books that we've edited getting onto the New York Times bestsellers lists and getting picked up by traditional publishers in deals worth millions of dollars
*The safety and security of working with a company that has a track record of working with tens of thousands of authors over hundreds of thousands of transactions
