Through my work with writers at various stages of their careers, I provide editorial guidance, developmental feedback, and industry insight to support the creation of compelling, publishable books. Key aspects of my work include: • Providing developmental editing, manuscript assessments, and copyediting for fiction and nonfiction authors • Working with 400+ writers through editorial feedback, coaching, and manuscript evaluation • Guiding authors through story development, structure, character arcs, and narrative clarity • Creating educational resources and content that make writing, editing, and publishing more accessible • Developing workshops and one-to-one coaching sessions to help writers improve craft and finish their books This work combines editorial expertise, teaching, and publishing knowledge to help authors elevate their manuscripts and approach the industry with greater confidence (and is my absolute favourite thing to do!)

    Betty absolutely exceeded my expectations!!! I couldn't be happier with her analysis! She was incredibly thorough and offered fantastic, actionable suggestions to improve my novel. It was especially helpful when she pointed out exactly where the pacing needed to slow down. I will absolutely be hiring her again!

    Freelancer used AI. Chinese characters were in my feedback reports. She didn't follow instructions. Feedback read as individual chapters processed by an LLM. I doubt she's actually a native English speaker.

    Working with Betty was the best decision I could have made while completing my book. She is incredibly kind, patient, and insightful, always ready to offer fresh perspectives that opened my eyes to new angles I hadn't considered. Her support and guidance were invaluable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a talented collaborator!

    Betty gave me the best beta feedback I've ever gotten — chapter by chapter, specific, honest, and somehow tracking the whole book's argument the entire way through, not just reacting scene by scene. She caught patterns in my own writing I couldn't see anymore and told me exactly what to do about them. I'd work with her again without hesitation.
