Overview

My diverse editing experience—from technical editing, academic editing, and book editing—allows me to bring a unique, attentive lens to my projects. Being well-versed in guides of style and having a background in rhetoric, I provide honest, detailed feedback and edits to ensure that your story resonates with readers.

As an editor at Scarsdale Publishing, I specialized in adult romance, though I also specialize in young adult contemporary, fantasy, and paranormal. I offer developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, and editorial assessment services. As a skilled but newer professional in the field, I will bring passion and dedication to your project—at an affordable price.

In addition to being an editor, I'm an author, book blogger, BookTuber, and Bookstagrammer. I have also attended the Writer's Digest Conference and Pitch Slam and received requests from agents for my own young adult contemporary. My love of stories (and telling them well) translates to a detailed, thoughtful style of editing.

Thank you for considering me for your project!
