FICTION EDITING SERVICES

Helping bring your story to life.

Whether you need a professional’s perspective on your idea or someone to finalize your project, I can help bring your story or journey—fiction or memoir—to life.

After an initial phone consultation, I’ll work with you to determine what services would benefit you most—and stay within your budget. Bring me your complete project or a work in progress; I’m confident we can develop the best plan for you and the story you want to tell.

I have written, copy edited, and proofread in the corporate world and for fiction authors of various genres. As a life-long reader of fiction in particular, I know that gripping your readers and keeping them hooked is of the utmost importance. So, I’ll be technical as well as sensitive to your creative choices in the name of perfecting your work.

Thank you for such an insightful and thorough editing job.

I am ever so grateful.
