Editing Services
Do you have a manuscript, a book baby, a dream, a vision? How about a shorter piece of writing that could use some polish? Some professional correspondence?
Good editing is the difference between readers easily traversing the hills and valleys of your pages or tripping over a misplaced modifier, causing them to disengage!
I provide collaborative editing services with your voice and style in mind. Whether you’re writing a novel, creative nonfiction, a memoir, or business correspondence, my editing goal is the same: to keep your voice while maximizing reader engagement.
Manuscript Copyediting
This service is a word-by-word, sentence-by-sentence edit for grammar and punctuation usage, pace, point of view, parallelism, spelling, and general consistency.
Together, we will decide what level of copyedit is most appropriate for your specific piece of writing. This is achieved by going over your first chapter or two.
I will generate a style sheet that is specific to your manuscript and preferences or add to one if it already exists.

This service takes into consideration overarching story elements. I will leave detailed comments in the manuscript for plot, character arcs and agency, descriptions, action beats, dialogue and narrative considerations, suggestions for scenes and character interactions, and other elements.
