Olivia Haase

Olivia Haase – Editor

Enthusiastic, fun, and supportive kids, MG, and YA editor; from developmental edits to proofreading, and every editing step in between!

Overview

I've worked in the publishing industry for 5 years and received my master's in publishing from George Washington University. Before working in publishing, I worked in TV development.

My years of experience may be shorter than other editors, but make no mistake, it has been mighty! I'm also a dedicated editor who loves to spitball ideas with my authors, no matter how outlandish they may seem. Books should be joyful, and that includes the experience of writing and editing them.

I have worked on bestselling picture books (fiction and nonfiction alike!), fantasy middle grade, and thriller YA novels. My experience spans across many genres, and I'm always eager to dive into something new.

When you work with me, you will be getting someone who is fully on your side and is your personal cheerleader. Collaboration is key! I can help with developmental, copy, and line editing. If all you need is a quick proof, I can help with that too!

I hope you take a chance on me, and a publisher takes a chance on you!
