Sarah Plocher – Editor

I have been working with romance authors since 2018, and love being the final eyes on a manuscript and making it shine!

Overview

I have a passion for reading and supporting authors, and began proofreading for independent contemporary romance authors in the fall of 2018. I have worked with debut authors as well as NYT Bestselling authors, and I continue to grow my client list every year. In the fall of 2025, I began working with Bloom Books/Sourcebooks Casablanca as a freelance editor and am grateful for the opportunity to work in the trad publishing business.

I pride myself on my attention to detail, the rapport and relationships I build with authors to better understand their individual needs, and my timely completion of projects. My strengths are not only catching every pesky typo and missed or extra comma, but also timeline, character and plot consistencies. If suddenly your blue-eyed hero has green eyes in the next chapter, I'll catch it!

I hope to have the opportunity to help you make your manuscript the absolute best it can be.
