Professional book editing that keeps your voice intact. I’m a book editor specializing in romance, fantasy and children’s fiction, offering developmental editing, line editing, copy editing and proofreading for self-publishing and traditionally submitting authors. My approach is simple: I correct what interferes with the reader’s experience and preserve what makes your writing yours, including your tone, dialogue, dialect and style. Editing Services Developmental Editing: plot structure, pacing, character development, continuity and narrative flow Line Editing: sentence clarity, dialogue, word choice, repetition and rhythm Copy Editing & Proofreading: grammar, punctuation, spelling, consistency and final checks before publication Manuscript Critique & Editorial Report: a clear assessment of strengths, weaknesses and next steps Genres Romance ([contemporary, dark romance, historical, etc.]), fantasy, children’s books and middle-grade fiction. I also edit nonfiction, including self-help, wellness, business and memoir. My Process Microsoft Word Track Changes or Google Docs Suggestions Comments explaining every significant change Questions flagged to you before any change that affects plot, characters or world-building US or UK English, and Chicago Manual of Style on request Confidential handling of every manuscript AI Use AI use follows your instructions. If you want no AI involvement, none is used. If you want specific AI tools used, we agree on scope in advance. I also offer voice restoration for AI-assisted drafts, a human-led edit that removes generic or formulaic phrasing and returns the manuscript to the author’s voice. Pricing I provide a fixed quote based on word count and editing level after reviewing a sample. Hourly rates are available for ongoing work. Curious how I’d handle your book? I’m happy to edit a short sample, around 1,000 words, so you can see exactly what my changes and comments look like before you decide anything. Every book I edit belongs to its author. If yours is ready for a careful, respectful read, I’d be glad to see it.
