About me
I'm a published novelist and professional editor with a master's in Film Studies and credits at the Venice Film Festival, Warner Bros, and Village Roadshow. With over 900 completed projects, I've helped writers across genres see their manuscripts clearly: what's working, what's holding them back. And how to close the gap. I can usually tell within a chapter what a story needs. I'll tell you the truth without tearing you down.
Whether you're heading for agents or self-publishing, my job is to get your manuscript as close to ready as possible.

If you are fortunate enough to of found Simona, stop looking because you have located a rock star! Five star communication, excellent constructive feedback, is open to answering all your questions even when the job is completed. If I write another book, I will 100% return to ask her to read it!

I sent Simona my draft convinced it was a mess. I'd rewritten it so many times I couldn't tell anymore. Her first move was to point out, gently but without hedging, that the struggle was in me, not the book. Then she spent ten pages proving it. ...

Simona was able to break down my story to the smallest detail, thoughtfully dissecting the emotional nuances, character behavior, and deeper intentions I was trying to convey.
