Nicolle White – Editor

Developmental Editor focused on short stories and screenplays for 7 Years. I love working with authors who have a strong vision and message

Overview

I started my career at Firefly Books. For the past 7 years, out of the traditional office, I have been the go-to editor in my network for feedback and editing on writing contest entries. It has been an immense joy to watch their journeys from the first story to the most recent, and hearing about their successes in submitting to contests. I have also been a volunteer editor for The Ripple Foundation's Annual writing contest.


Working with me as a developmental editor, you can expect a Summary Report that goes into detail on areas that could be improved, and questions to consider before diving into the next draft.


I'm hoping to work with your story, not against it. What I want more than anything is for you to keep moving forward!


Some works include:


Screenplays by Rob Fitl and Lee Taylor


Loved Ones

The Twilight Zone

Better Cold

Adults Only


"My partner and I have now worked with Nicolle on several projects. She has quickly become a trusted collaborator, providing both objective and constructive criticism. She has been instrumental in expanding the creative potential of each script she has worked on, as well as ensuring it keeps up with current audience expectations. Her notes always come in a timely and professional manner, and I would fully endorse her as an asset to any team." - Rob Fitl

I hired Nicolle to assess and help with a short story, and she did not disappoint. She is professional with a sharp eye for detail, and she is great to work with. Moreover, she took on the project and delivered her work within my quite demanding timeframe. Highly recommended.

Nicole provided insightful feedback on three of my short stories, allowing me to improve on the plot, dialogue, mystery, and characters. It was an amazing and quick service, with a gentle and constructive approach. Nicole is highly recommended as an editor. Thanks, Nicolle.

Nicolle is a true professional, committed to her craft. She engages with the author on a personal level while maintaining her objectivity. Her suggestions are spot on, illuminating the flaws that would otherwise ruin the story.
