Leonora Stewart – Editor

I am a copyeditor with over fifteen years of publishing experience, and I’ve had the privilege of working on more than 600 books—ranging from bestsellers at Usborne Publishing to debut novels here on Reedsy. Since 2016, I’ve been helping authors on Reedsy polish their stories into books they feel proud to share with readers.

I especially love working with young adult and adult fiction, from sweeping fantasy epics to fast-paced sci-fi, though I’ve edited everything from popular science to contemporary romance. Whatever the genre, my goal is the same: to help your writing shine while keeping your unique voice intact.

I know that sending your manuscript to an editor can feel daunting. That’s why I aim to make the process collaborative, encouraging, and positive. My feedback is always constructive and practical, so you’ll come away not just with a polished manuscript but with tools to strengthen your writing for the future.

I’m fluent in all major English standards (British, American, Canadian, Australian, etc.), so wherever you’re based, I can adapt to your preferred style.

If you’d like to see how I edit, just send me a sample of your manuscript. I’d be delighted to provide a sample edit and a quote. Most of all, I’d love to help you bring your story to life.
