Fiction Editing

It's your baby.
Now that you've written (and rewritten) your story, it's time to think about next steps. Polishing your final manuscript is only part of the editing process. You want your book or story rise above the thousands of others crowding the shelves (real and virtual), and a professional editor can help it do just that.

Whether you're readying your manuscript for submission to a market or preparing to publish your work yourself, you need the skills of a good editor to make it the best it can be. From story development to final proofing, we can help ensure your book stands out from the competition.

"She not only corrected my mistakes, but pointed out places where my writing was passive, and discovered oversights and plot holes that could destroy a first-time mystery writer's credibility. I'm a better writer for working with her. I feel like she understands my characters as well as I do, and is invested in the quality and success of my book."

Fact:
A well-edited manuscript improves reader immersion. This means readers remain engaged with your book vs. getting kicked out into the real world when they hit a bump in the road—good editors remove as many bumps as possible for a smooth ride.
