Maureen C.

With over 15 years of experience in the publishing industry and being a USA TODAY bestselling author, I have an extensive background in both traditional and self-publishing within the fiction genre. Having edited for Amazon bestselling authors and more, I'm eager to use that experience to enhance and elevate your writing. Genres I specialize in include Romance, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Christian, Mystery, Suspense, YA, Memoirs and more. With my experience as a technical writer, I welcome all nonfiction projects as well. Expect professional copy, line, and developmental editing with meticulous attention to detail from me. And rest assured, though I'm a stickler for perfection, my main goal is to support and encourage you every step of the way. Are you using AI in your writing? It is a wonderful tool, and will help you with brainstorming. But it is not a solution when it comes to editing your novel. It will not retain your voice. It will use repetitive phrasing. It just won't be you. Let me help you be YOU. I am the founder of WordTinkerer LLC, and as such, I'm committed to staying up-to-date with the latest in editing education, such as Ethics, Grammar, AI Content Writing, ChatGPT, Working with Writers, and more. My pricing is generally by word count, not hourly, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me with questions.
