About
I’m a published middle-grade fiction author with two books on the market and 25 years of professional writing experience, and over six years of editing experience. I’ve worked on copyediting, developmental editing, and ghostwriting for many authors in genres including true crime, horror, mystery, fiction, non-fiction, middle grade & YA horror, and memoirs. My services include: - **Copyediting:** Spelling, grammar, punctuation, tense consistency, flow, and APA formatting. - **Developmental editing:** Story flow, point of view, pacing, plot and character development, plus suggestions for new scenes. - **Ghostwriting:** Expanding character backstories, adding or writing scenes and dialogue, or crafting your entire book from your ideas. I do not use AI for writing or editing. Everything is done by me. You always retain all rights to your work, and contracts are available upon request. If you’re ready to make your manuscript the best it can be, let’s talk.
