TESTIMONIALS
“I’m so glad I got to work with Rozi. Aside from the fact that she’s a true professional who knows what she’s doing, she delivers feedback in a clear and respectful manner. She provides explanations for her edits and suggestions, and her explanations teach you how to improve your current project and your future work. She’s thorough and accurate. I definitely recommend working with her. I know I will work with her again.”

Work experience
The Developmental
I offer comprehensive editing services that cover every step of the process for both aspiring and established authors, in fiction and non-fiction. I help writers develop, structure and brainstorm ideas. I also offer line editing, copyediting and proofreading for long and short form works.
Penguin Random House
Acquired and edited contemporary fiction titles with critical and bestselling potential, and identified categories to explore for growth potential. Worked with writers to develop and finalize manuscripts, from substantive structural feedback to line edits, and engage and partner with them on a fully realized publishing campaign.
Time Inc. /American Express
Oversaw the management and production of various travel and lifestyle titles within Time Inc. umbrella. Provided structural, developmental and line editing. Pitched, researched and contributed digital content.
Reedsy
I provide developmental, structural, copy and line editing for fiction and memoirs/self-help.
I’d love to work with you if you:
➡️ Have a great story.
➡️ Love to write and believe a “revision is one step closer to done.”
➡️ Want to create strong, complex female characters.
➡️ Are not a fan of cliches and familiar plot lines.
➡️ Want to become a published author because you have something to share with the world.
➡️ Believe that as your editor, my goal is to help you enhance your story, not change it.
I have an honest, direct, and collaborative approach. I’m obsessed with details and rules. I’ll tell you what the “rule” is and you can choose whether to apply it or not.
If you think we’d be a good match for a collaboration, message me and tell me more about your book.
