  Detailed Draft Editorial
  You’ve focused on the art of writing.
I focus on polishing the details so your manuscript is ready for the next step.

I'm an award-winning writer who regularly seeks feedback on my own work, so I know how important it is that an edit doesn't change your voice.

Services:
• Copyediting
• Line editing
• Copy + line editing
• Proofreading
• Teen beta readers
• Query letter and book proposal editing
• Submission package editing
• Résumés, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles

Genres I love to work in:
• Children’s books—all types, from picture books to MG to YA
• Science fiction and fantasy
• Mystery and thriller
• Romance (mild)
• Contemporary
• Women’s fiction
• Literary fiction
• Business
• Self-Help

After edits, I’m always available to answer questions and help cheer you on for the rest of your writing journey!
