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'm also an avid reader of romance and feel I could help in that category as well!
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 love to work collaboratively and am happy to workshop ideas and walk you through your concerns and my suggestions after my initial read.
I look forward to working together!
