Shelly Stinchcomb – Editor

Hello, and welcome to my profile!

I am massively in love with books and consume 80-120 books per year as a reader. Well into my adult years, I still get excited thinking about the Scholastic Book Fair. Though I don't do it near enough, being in a cozy bookstore perusing the shelves and talking to the staff is one of my happy places.

As a Developmental/Content Editor with over fifteen years of experience, my expertise and value are in working closely with you to fully develop your plot and characters. We’ll work together on areas such as language, story flow, narrative tension, plot and character development, consistency, and pace. Handing your hours of writing and creativity over to an editor can feel scary and intrusive. I understand that, and I take great pride in providing an honest and kind review, as well as thoughtful suggestions to help you polish your manuscript and make it shine.

Authors I’ve worked with include best-selling authors Caroline Mitchell (New York Times best-seller), Marci Bolden, Ramcy Diek, K.A Fox and Debra Kristi. Several of my clients are published in multiple countries.

At the forefront of everything, I foster an environment of open communication where projects are discussed freely and without judgment. My end goal is to work collaboratively to build a trusting, long-term relationship with each of my clients.

Outside of the book world I'm a travel enthusiast, dog lover, sewist and a goofball.

I would love to discuss your project to see if my style is right for you!
