I am a freelance editor of fiction and non-fiction manuscripts. Primarily interested in sci-fi, mysteries, and speculative fiction; as well as DIY, craft, or artistic non-fiction.
I can tailor my level of editing to exactly what you need (developmental editing, line and copy editing, or proofreading). I am well-trained in the Chicago Manual of Style (17th ed.) and have created, updated, and maintained in-house style guides and novel style sheets. My non-freelance career was in project management, so I can also help the wayward author get organized and figure out their next steps to accomplish their goals.
Since each project is unique, timelines and rates are negotiable. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to meet and discuss your project, that is when we'll hash out the details and find out if we're a good working fit.
Testimonials: "I've been going over your comments, and I'm overwhelmed by the clever insights and detailed breakdowns you've given me here! This is amazing, and I can see how much went into it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!" —Jane Kalmes, self-published mystery author of The Black Rose Murders.
"Becca provided a thoughtful reader's perspective on what my book was currently like, and an editor's perspective on how to improve it." —unpublished mainstream fiction author.
"I find it hard to step back from my story and see the big picture. Becca's chapter-by-chapter summary of my book was extremely helpful—it helped me see the story I'd actually put on the page as opposed to the story that's in my head." —unpublished mystery author.
"I had an amazing time working with Becca. Her warmth and humour made working with her a real treat. She provided detailed guidance, constructive feedback, and was always very supportive." —unpublished non-fiction writer.
