Madeline Schrader – Editor

I love stories - they're an integral part of humanity's essence. We look to stories to understand ourselves, others, and the world. Nothing, however, is a quicker turnoff from a story than mixed metaphors, misplaced commas, or glaring narrative inconsistencies. That's where I come in. I read your manuscript with a close eye for detail, fixing grammar, asking questions about your prose that you may not have considered, and making suggestions for dialogue, syntax, and narrative arcs. With my extensive proofreading experience, I assure your manuscript will be clean and error-free for its next step, whether that is for self-publication or submission to literary agents.While my fiction copy editing and proofreading has primarily been in the SFF genre (novels and TTRPG scripts), I am also deeply familiar with the world of romance novels (don't mess with romance twitter!). I also have experience copy editing academic manuscripts for university presses, notably in the area of Christian theology. I check my messages constantly and provide style sheets on request, so that you can be aware of stylistic tendencies you may not have known you had. At the end of the day, I want your manuscript to be clean, cogent, and riveting. If this is what you want for your manuscript as well, let me know. I'd love to help you tell your story.
