About this Gig

Editing your own work is difficult because you're too close to it, but finding an editor who will stay true to your author voice can also be difficult.


I specialize in high-detail editing to polish your manuscript. While I stay true to your author-voice, I point out specific things in detail to enhance what's already there. I check characterization, character development, tone, consistency, literary devices, narrative summary vs. active scenes, and your story's pacing. You've built the foundation and the house--I'm just here to help with making it a home.


  1. Send me your final draft manuscript (with your Style Guide if applicable)
  2. I'll read your novel to ensure I'm the correct editor for you! (Making sure it's in my wheelhouse and the manuscript is finished)
  3. I'll edit based on the package you choose with tracked changes and suggestions
  4. Based on the package you chose, I'll deliver 2-3 docs. Your tracked changes, a clean copy, and (if you opted in) my beta reading critique.


Shoot me a message, and I'll get back to you within the day!
