Monica Burch – Editor

Editor and Fiction enthusiast! While I have a passion for Fiction, I edit both Fiction and Non-Fiction. Let me help you flourish!

Overview

I'm a Summa Cum Laude graduate from the University of North Florida with my Bachelor of Arts in English with minors in Psychology and Education. I am currently a copy editor for a local publishing company. I also tutor English and writing for all ages. I look forward to helping you discover the best writer in you!

I love to work with Middle Aged to Young Adult Fiction. However, I thoroughly enjoy editing all types of manuscripts as the variety keeps everything new and interesting! I am new to the editing world, but a fast learner and hard worker. I pay close attention to detail and want to make sure the author feels I haven't changed their story, but instead helped them bring it to life!
