Level up your book

With an editor’s precision and a publicist’s ear, I work with authors to clarify their vision, refine their voice, and amplify their strengths.

What I Offer

Every manuscript is different, and so is every writer’s process. My goal is not to impose a formula but to meet you where you are. Whether you’re nursing a new story, reworking an old one, or about to hit submit, I want to help you take your book from first draft to first edition.

Developmental Editing

Detailed editorial assessment of structure, worldbuilding, pacing, and character arcs, with revision recommendations.

Line Editing

Extensive sentence-level workup, with careful attention to rhythm, tone, and clarity.

Copyediting

Grammar, consistency, and style-guide adherence, with limited stylistic edits.

Proofreading

Print-ready polish – Final proofreading for errors.
