Overview
After working as a Pitch Wars mentor and earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in History, I shifted my focus to freelance editing to utilize my decade of experience in the publishing industry. My talents lie in characterization, worldbuilding, dialogue, plot beats, and romance, and I read, write, and edit across the genres in the Young Adult, New Adult. and Adult categories. This allows me to stay up to date with current industry standards and overall reader trends. My top two genres are fantasy and romance—as well as their subgenres—though I've married my history degree with historical fiction, and love exploring new worlds in the past, present, and future, no matter which planet they're on. I'm also a writer represented by a literary agent, so I know how best to catch industry eyes.
I provide editorial assessments, copyediting, proofreading, and query letter reviews. Editorial assessments result in an in-depth edit letter, while copyediting and proofreading result in edits completed in Track Changes. For query letters, I provide two rounds: the first is an edit of what you’ve already written; the second is to fine-tune what you’ve revised. I'm also happy to help you refine your query list, providing names and advice. And no matter how long it's been, my inbox will always remain open to all past and present clients.
I've helped numerous authors go on to sell their books to the Big 5 or achieve their dreams of self-publication. I can't wait to help you do the same.
