Overview
I'm an editor with 10 years of experience in the publishing industry with particular experience working on mystery, historical, and fantasy books.
I specialize in developmental editing on pacing, character development, plotting, and world building, as well as line editing. I can also help with editorial assessments for more overview guidance rather than getting into the nitty gritty if you're looking for feedback on an early draft.
I typically give feedback in the form of editorial letters with specific examples relating to my notes and/or an annotated Word document.
I look forward to working together!
