I'm an experienced editor and offer line edits and copy edits for both fiction and non-fiction writers. I also offer developmental edits in the romance genre, which is my editing specialty, particularly steamy contemporary romance.

When performing developmental edits, I ensure that the "big picture" groundwork is strong before moving on to line and copy edits.

Line edits involve a sentence-by-sentence review of your manuscript. I focus on word choice and restructure run-on sentences and sentence fragments. I help you clarify meaning, eliminate jargon, and ensure that each sentence flows easily in your reader's mind.

Copy editing is checking for repetition, inconsistencies, and mistakes in your manuscript. This service includes correcting grammar, spelling, punctuation, and technical consistency.
