About this Gig

*Currently booking into October. NOTE: I'm away September. Pre-book if needed. Message for availability*


I'm a professional developmental editor and story analyst, as well as a published author represented by Spencerhill Literary. With seven novels published and more on the way, I understand both sides of the editorial process, including indie and traditional publishing standards.


I specialize in Fantasy, Romantasy, Sci-Fi, and Romance across YA, NA, and Adult fiction. My goal is to help you strengthen your manuscript at the big-picture level while protecting your voice and creative vision. 100% human editing, AI tools are NOT used at any point.


You'll receive:

  • A comprehensive editorial letter (3-4+ pgs) covering plot structure, character arcs, pacing, worldbuilding, tone, and emotional resonance
  • Targeted, actionable suggestions to enhance strengths and address problem areas
  • In-line manuscript comments highlighting scenes, dialogue, and moments that need clarification, expansion, or tightening
  • Honest, encouraging feedback tailored to your publishing goals


My editing style is collaborative, strengths-based, and rooted in industry insight and reader engagement.

    Amy does fantastic developmental editing. I implemented several of her suggestions from her first pass, and my story has gotten so much clearer and well rounded. Amy did a second pass for me and gave me a new edit letter and her opinions on the changes, as well as finding parts of the manuscript that...

    She did an amazing job. I needed someone to read my book and really give it a hard look. I can't recommend her enough. She helped me find plot holes and let me know where certain passages were less clear.

    This was excellent work by Amy. She really went into depth with the big picture of my manuscript and with the characters in her developmental edit. Her in-text notes and edit letter really let me see the story with a fresh pair of eyes and great ideas. She was easy to communicate with. I'm looking forward...

    So pleased with Amy's feedback. She did a developmental edit on the first act of my novel and it was exactly what I needed. Her notes are specific and well-reasoned, catching issues I felt too close to see. I came away with a clear idea of what to do next. Highly recommend!

    Amy is superb. She answered all of the questions I sent along with my manuscript, paid close attention to details, and returned everything in an incredibly quick turnaround. I look forward to working with her again in the future on more projects and cannot recommend her enough.
