You have something to say. I can help.

Writing can be a personal, passionate calling, and you take great care when creating your work.

I take great care in partnering with you to polish your writing, so each piece communicates clearly to the intended audience, nothing pulls the reader out of the narrative, and your voice shines through. 

Why hire an editor? 

It's science

Authors hire editors because it’s difficult to spot issues in our own writing. Our brains fill in and gloss over gaps in familiar material. A reliable way to make sure readers understand and enjoy your work and keep coming back for more is to have a professional editor apply their expertise.

The human touch

Human editors have the advantage over software that checks spelling and grammar. Authors hire editors because we know the rules, understand the nuances, and use our professional judgment to make the best choices in situations where the rules are ambiguous or nonexistent. 

Tailored feedback

Keeping the reader's perspective in mind, the editor will make specific recommendations to strengthen and polish the author's work while preserving their voice and style. We'll work together on this, and as author, you decide whether to accept the recommendations on your work.

What level of editing do you need?

The short answer is: It depends. The editor reviews the manuscript to make an accurate recommendation about the level of services required. There are many terms and definitions for levels of editing, and lines between levels can be very blurry. Interested to learn more about the differences? Please click through to see my descriptions.
