Fiction Copy Editing

 As a lifelong genre reader, I specialize in fantasy/science fiction and romance. Clients include bestselling authors at Penguin Random House and DAW Books, as well as self-published and first-time authors.

I love helping you keep your voice and worldbuilding consistent, and making sure your manuscript looks beautiful and ready for publication.

Fiction Copy Editing

 

Going cross-eyed from revising your work over and over? Need a new pair of eyes with an attention to detail? Let me help get your project ready for publication or submission.

I keep an eye out for:

  • Grammar and punctuation

  • Consistency, including in worldbuilding, invented languages, and other genre hallmarks

  • Style guide/house style adherence

  • Clarity, fluency, and flow

  • Genre norms and tropes

  • Formatting

With all projects, I'm a regular and responsive communicator. I want clients to feel heard, and I will meet you where you are, tailoring my services to meet your individual needs. I've worked with writers who have zero experience as well as with writers who have 50+ books under their belts—so feel free to reach out with any questions!
