Do you want to take your book to the next level? Let me help you make your dreams a reality!
If you're looking for an editor who cares as much about your book as you do, you've come to the right place!
Over the years, I have worked on well over 300 fiction and nonfiction books and many articles. While I do edit any genre, I specialize in Young Adult, Fantasy, Self-Help, Memoir, and Historical Fiction.
When you order from me, you'll receive:
- An edit completed by a native English speaker without the use of AI
- Two versions of your manuscript: one with Track Changes and one with all the edits accepted.
- An editorial letter with my thoughts on the project overall and next steps in your publishing journey.
- Someone to cheer you on as you move toward your dreams.
- The confidence to publish and share your story with the world.
If you want a partner you can trust when editing your book, send me a message so we can start working together today!
The package rates are meant as an example only. Message me to set up a sample edit to get a custom quote for your manuscript!

FAQ
What if my story is over 75k words?
I'm more than happy to edit longer projects. Send me a message for a quote.
What are Track Changes?
Track Changes is a feature built into Microsoft Word that allows me to make edits within the document without changing the document itself. After all, while you're hiring me for edits, the book is first and foremost, yours. If I suggest an edit you don't agree with, you can easily revert it.
Why do you send two documents?
While Track Changes is an amazing tool, it can be difficult to see the story through them all. I provide a clean version so you can read through the story with all the edits applied. I do recommend you go through each edit one by one in the Track Changes document, though.
What style guide do you follow?
I edit following the Chicago Manual of Style.
What dialects of English will you edit?
While I am from the US, I can edit in British English, Canadian English, Indian English, and Australian English as well.
Will you edit adult content?
Yes. Please let me know if your piece contains any adult scenes before placing an order. While I have no issues editing sex scenes, I do prefer to know they're there ahead of time.
Why do edits take so long?
I want to provide the best service for your money, and to do that I need some time. If you need your edits back sooner, I do have expedited services available, but I would highly recommend getting your work edited sooner, rather than later, so we'll have plenty of time to work together.
Why are edits so expensive?
Editing takes a lot of time and attention to make sure I catch as many errors as humanly possible. I go above and beyond on every project so you can publish with confidence. You are not only paying for my time, but my experience as well.
