Work With Me
I’m a professionally trained book editor and story consultant. Aside from earning a bachelor’s degree in English Literature and a minor in Creative Writing, I received the The Poynter ACES Certificates in Editing, and I’m an active member of the American Copy Editors Society and Club Ed for Freelancers. And even though I’m a professional, that doesn’t mean I’ll stop learning—continuing education is an important part of my business as editing best practices and conscious language evolves.
As a professionally trained book editor and story consultant, I specialize in all sub-genres of romance, with a particular focus on romantic fantasy. Whether you’re weaving heartfelt connections or crafting enchanting worlds, I’m here to help you refine your narrative, polish your prose, and create a story that captivates readers. With a collaborative approach and a deep respect for your unique voice, I’ll work alongside you to make your manuscript unforgettable.
Let me help you create something readers will fall in love with.
