About me
A huge note: I do not use AI for any part of my process.
Hi, I'm Maddy! I've been an avid bookworm for over 27 years, and have been professionally editing since 2016. I've worked on flash fiction, edited website content, picture books to novels, novellas, self-help, cookbooks, scientific journals, and even a few comic books and screenplays. You name it, I've worked on it! Whether you need someone to help iron out your first draft or find that last missing period before publication, I'm here to help!

This is my second time working with Maddy and I was just as impressed as the first time. She truly takes her time on your manuscript, and I didn't feel she rushed anything or cut any corners. She also gave a thoughtful analysis of the add-on I ordered. Thank you, Maddy!
