After months, maybe even years, of writing and revising your manuscript, you feel it’s ready for the next step. But it’s hard to be certain. You’ve spent so much time so close to your story, it can be difficult to tell how a new reader will experience it. You need an articulate and knowledgeable reader to give your manuscript some fresh eyes and let you know where the experience of your story could be strengthened to better match your intentions for it. I can be that reader.
I’m Amelia Winters, a professional editor who has been working with fiction authors for over seven years. By night, I chase stories and explore distant worlds through books, role-playing games, and sewing my own historical garments. By day, I journey with authors to help them hone their story craft, elevate their voice, and polish their prose.
The world of professional editing can seem daunting at first. If you’re not sure which editing service would best serve your needs, don’t worry! I’ve written a complete guide that can help you find the right service for your needs. You can find that guide here: https://wintersediting.com/editing-service-writing-stage/.
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing how I can help you make your story shine!
Testimonials:
“Amelia’s expertise in storytelling and genre was a game changer in making my novel shine. She helped me tease out the structure my novel so desperately needed. Though this is my first time working with an editor-at-large, I have worked with many editors in the Big Scary Publishing Industry. Amelia—rigorous, visionary, and kind—holds her own and then some. I look forward to working with her for years to come!” —Lauren Myracle
“I have found Amelia Winters not only generous but also on point. Her advice and ability to communicate where things need to be clarified and strengthened have been invaluable. Amelia also recommends so many resources outside of her own services that are extremely helpful and part of her generosity. Thank you for your expert advice in the art of telling epic fantasy.” —Charlotte Brammer
“Amelia Winters’ Copy and Stylistic Edit was concise, detail-oriented, and professional. She is diligent and passionate. The style sheet is organized and incredibly useful (I’ve used it as a reference repeatedly) and is praised by the proofreaders. Amelia Winters Editing made me confident my novel was complete.” —C. J. Switzer
