Profile
I am passionate about helping writers craft their best story possible. I have a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of story structure, character motivation, plotting, and world building, from initial concept to final draft. I bring 15+ years of writing experience to each
The bulk of my editing is developmental or substantive in the genres of speculative fiction, fantasy and mystery. I am happy to take on copyediting tasks but only if the manuscript is ready for that step. If you’re not sure, reach out and we can discuss options based on a free sample edit.
I am not a good fit for romance, graphic sex or misogynistic male characters and female characters who vie for their attention, regardless of genre. Sorry. I just can’t anymore.
