Jonathan H.

Fiction Editing Specialist.

I have been writing for 20 years and have been fortunate enough to receive publication in Takahe, Bravado, Adelaide Literary, PIF, Daily Love, Danse Macabre, Apocrypha and Abstractions, Dash, The Fictional Café, Potato Soup Journal, Fleas On The Dog, Cardinal Sins, Tiny Molecules, and Mystery Tribune. I specialize in editing fiction to maximize the readability and impact of each line, paragraph, and chapter. Your reader should want to re-read your sentences because they appreciate them - never because they need to re-read in order to follow the narrative. Writing isn't what I do, it's who I am, and therefore I am never happy until the client is happy. I will edit and re-edit until the client is satisfied. I am an accomplished writer and editor, and - as a fellow writer - I understand the excitement and stress of final edit before publication. I promise to edit your work as if it were my own and assure you that you will be consulted each and every step of the way. I work from home and therefore am available 24/7 for Skype, Zoom, Email - whatever you require, at a moment’s notice. I see UpWork as an opportunity to finance my savings throughout my life. With that in mind, my reputation and quality of work will always be my highest priority. I am not satisfied until the client is satisfied. You will, of course, be consulted as often as is needed throughout each step of the process. My favorite writer, F Scott Fitzgerald, wrote that a poorly formed sentence rang as untrue as a mistimed musical note, and will I take that as guidance during any revision process. I look forward to working with you, Jonathan Herring
