Noelle Salazar

Noelle Salazar – Editor

Editor. International bestselling author. Lover of stories. Ready to help you write your best book! (New to Reedsy July 2026!)

Overview

As a professional developmental editor, I'm dedicated to helping you tell the best story possible. Stories will forever be needed in the world and I'd love to help you bring yours to life - to strengthen what's special about it and really make it shine. Whether you're writing for yourself or want to get your story into the hands of others, I bring years of experience - both as an author and more recently as an editor - to the table and love working with writers at all stages of their process. I know what those early chapters need to grab a reader's attention and I understand the difficulty of honing a voice, a character, a scene to perfection. As an author myself, I'll also be more than happy to chat about my experience of the industry, offering you whatever help I can to give you the best chance of success.

Work experience

Self-employed

Mar, 2021 — Present
I've been providing developmental editing feedback for writers over the last few years, working with people at all stages of their journey - from those just starting out, to traditionally published authors and others who are exploring the self-publishing route.

Self-Employed

Jul, 2019 — Present
I am an internationally best-selling author of four historical books. I have also self-published one rom-com. As an author I enjoy creating characters and worlds, researching time periods and all they entail, marketing my work, and being involved in the writing community at large. Part of my job as an author is to leave my ego at the door as I interpret edits and revise, revise, revise my work to make my book its best possible version.
