You’ve poured months—sometimes years—into your manuscript. Now it’s time to make sure your book is as strong, clear, and polished as possible before it reaches readers. That’s where I come in.

I offer editing services that reflect the standards of traditional publishing, while staying flexible for independent authors and small presses. My process includes:

  • Manuscript Review (mini developmental edit): A detailed editorial report with clear, actionable feedback on structure, pacing, and flow.

  • Line Editing: Sentence-level refinement that sharpens rhythm, strengthens word choice, and smooths phrasing while keeping your voice intact.

  • Copy Editing: Precision work that addresses grammar, usage, punctuation, and consistency.

  • Proofreading: The final polish that catches the smallest errors before publication.

I bring both an editor’s rigor and a poet’s love of language. My focus is on preserving your unique voice while elevating the manuscript to meet professional publishing standards.

For independent authors and publishing teams alike, the aim is the same: transforming drafts into books that resonate with readers.

Let’s talk about how I can support your next project.

*There are editorial industry standards, which can be seen here. My rates are in line with those listed. Please reach out for specific editing rates for your book or blog.

A draft is only the beginning—editing brings the book to life.
