Dani Moran – Editor

I'm a copy editor, proofreader, & sensitivity reader with experience working with Big 5 publishers & NYT bestsellers across age categories.

Overview

I primarily work with fiction authors for MG, YA, or Adult projects. I've been a freelancer since 2020. I have extensive experience working on a variety of genres and age categories, as well as graphic novels. I love speculative fic, but also love a contemporary romance!

For sensitivity reading, I identify as a mixed race Korean American and can also read for interracial or multicultural relationships (esp white x East Asian or multicultural East Asian). I have a great eye for detail as a copy editor, but without treading on authorial toes. My job is to let you know that Steve had blue eyes 20 pages ago, and now he has green eyes, not that Steve's character arc doesn't feel right for the story.
