Polished Prose for Romance, Romantasy, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi Authors

I help indie and trad-seeking authors prepare publication-ready manuscripts through professional copyediting and proofreading. My specialty is romance, romantasy, cozy fantasy, epic fantasy, and character-driven science fiction, with particular expertise in multi-book series, continuity tracking, and worldbuilding consistency.

Whether you're writing a standalone novel or building a trilogy, saga, or long-running series, I help ensure your characters, timelines, relationships, locations, and story details remain consistent from beginning to end. Alongside copyediting, I create detailed style sheets that become valuable references for future books in your series.

My experience includes copyediting and proofreading for Kensington Books, Lockwood Publishing, and Meals on Wheels, as well as upcoming projects with Macmillan and Hachette. I also gained editorial and acquisitions experience through Future House Books and Our National Conversation.

Why Series Authors Work With Me

Fantasy, romantasy, and science fiction readers notice inconsistencies quickly. A character's appearance changes. A magical ability suddenly works differently. A timeline no longer fits. Small details can pull readers out of an otherwise immersive story.

My editing process helps identify and track these elements so your world remains cohesive, your continuity stays intact, and your readers stay fully engaged from the first page to the final book in the series.
