EDITING

type tape header.png

 

 

Do you have a fiction or non-fiction manuscript you’d like to see published? Are you seeking a literary agent? Plan to self-publish?

​

You want your manuscript in the best shape possible, polished, formatted, and error-free. Your story must also be written in a compelling manner to engage readers. Writers are often too close to their own work to see where improvements can make a tremendous difference.

​

Working with an editor before you query agents or self-publish can give you an edge in the very tough and crowded market for publication. An editor should play a positive, encouraging, and motivational role while providing honest and direct feedback.

​

Your story belongs to you, the writer, not the editor. I will work with you, providing assistance, guidance, suggestions, ideas, resources, and tips. You are the final arbiter and all decisions are yours. I ask questions to learn what you’re trying to accomplish. My input is designed to help you develop your writing, your story, and your characters – in your voice.

​

My goal is to provide tools and techniques you can absorb into your skill set for everything you write in the future, not just fix typos in your current manuscript.

​

I work with writers of nearly any genre, but my personal preferences lean to commercial and mainstream fiction, literary, young adult, and women’s fiction. I have edited best-selling crime, fantasy, and memoir authors as well.
