Developmental editing for mythic quests, sacred mysteries and life-ending romances.

Everyone has a story inside them that just feels, well, pre-ordained. Destined to pour out, from you onto the page.

It's your story, and it's foretold.

I help writers dream up fantasy worlds, craft emotional histories, and perfect soul-stirring dialogue. As your developmental editor, let's make your manuscript soar to new heights. My services will provide feedback and a roadmap for you to pursue both self-publishing and traditional publishing.

Absolutely enchanted to meet you...

Editor and writer, I come from a background in communications and history. As an avid reader, I knew my true path was to help authors get their stories on the page and out in the world. I work primarily in fantasy, romantasy, and romance, but I dabble in all genres!

Work with me

Every project is unique.

If you do not see a package that fits your needs, send me an email on how I can support your writing journey.

Developmental Edit

A comprehensive package, ideal for a completed manuscript at an earlier drafting stage. I will deliver an annotated draft of your novel with 1-3 comments per page, and a detailed 10+ page editorial letter that describes the manuscript's strengths with suggestions for revision. I will also include exercises to help you tackle your revisions and recommend articles and books to help hone your craft.

Manuscript Review

Confident in your craft but looking for a more feedback before moving into the later stages of editing? I will provide a detailed 10+ page editorial letter that delves into your manuscripts strengths and suggested areas of improvement.

Perfect for those on the brink of publishing! Are you looking for reader reactions that are constructive and professional? After reading your amazing novel or novella, I will write my reader reactions in a 5-8 page letter. For an additional cost, I can also provide comments within the manuscript itself.
