Darci H.

So—you’ve written something amazing. Now it needs a sharp-eyed editor who gets your voice, understands your audience, and knows how to turn a good read into a great one. That’s where I come in. I’m a former English and history professor turned full-time editor with 15+ years of experience helping writers polish everything from swoony romance novels to suspenseful thrillers, cozy mysteries, spicy mafia love stories, and business blogs. I specialize in romance fiction and love working in sub-genres like contemporary, dark, paranormal, historical, and romantic suspense. I’m also no stranger to tropes—whether it’s enemies to lovers, fake marriage, or forbidden longing, I’ve probably read (and edited) it. I offer developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading, and I can focus on just one step—or combine multiple stages—for a more comprehensive edit. Whether you need help with story structure, emotional pacing, grammar, flow, or final polish, I tailor my work to meet your manuscript’s unique needs. Beyond fiction, I also work with nonfiction authors, content creators, and small business owners. I’ve edited website copy, blog posts, manuals, lead magnets, academic writing, and more. Whether you're publishing a book, refining your brand voice, or just want your content to sound clean and confident—I’ve got you. ✨ 100% human editing—no AI, no fluff ✨ Developmental editing for plot, character, structure ✨ Line and copy editing for tone, clarity, and consistency ✨ Proofreading for grammar, punctuation, and formatting ✨ Familiar with APA, MLA, Chicago, and SEO best practices ✨ Comfortable in Word, Google Docs, PDF, and more I’m fast, reliable, collaborative, and ridiculously detail-oriented—and I take pride in helping your words truly shine. Let’s get your story (or message) ready for the world.
