Overview
I'm a Certified Professional Editor through the University of California Berkeley, specializing in romantic fiction editing. I've worked in both mainstream and independent publishing in editorial and publicity with Penguin Random House, Macmillan, and Entangled for seven years, with experience in content and developmental editing, copyediting, proofreading, writing, and reviewing across all genres of romantic fiction, including historical romance, contemporary romance, and erotic romance. My clients are New York Times and USA Today best-selling authors like Sophie Jordan and Lauren Blakely. My dream work is being a consultant for authors on plot, characterization, and motivation, and I am also accomplished in the mechanics and language of editing—like my first full-length professional title, I am the Full Package!
I'm a reader first, editor second, meaning I will view your books with the eye of what the reader is looking for in a great read. I genuinely love reading romance, and I have the experience to know how to craft your book to stand out in a huge field. I'm thorough and meticulous in both my developmental edits and my copyedits, and no comma placement is too small. I'm highly organized and stay on top of my projects, providing detailed feedback in my edits and guiding authors through the editing process from start to finish. I guarantee I will help you make your book the best it can be, and will bring enthusiasm and passion in doing so!
