Your meaningful words preserved in your voice and provided with the highest quality of polished edits.
Need an editor?
Whether you are writing a novel, a devotional, or a book to reach a specific audience, a professional edit is an essential step to creating a work of excellence before publishing. If your manuscript is complete and you are satisfied with the content, copy editing analyzes every detail of your work including grammar, usage, and punctuation. Careful attention is given to each sentence for concise readability.
Every book is unique and needs more than a one-size-fits-all approach. MY GOAL is to partner with authors as they craft effective written words.
The Full Fiction / $0.015 per word
A novel allows us to experience the world from a character’s perspective. As I review your manuscript, I’ll provide line-by-line editing for grammar, word usage, and syntax. Suggestions for sentence structure, wordiness, and pacing will be made in the comments.

- Includes an edit of your query letter
