I am a passionate fan of the written word! As a Developmental/Content E
ditor with over fifteen years of experience, my expertise, strength, and value are in working closely with you to fully develop your plot and characters. I work on areas such as language, story flow, narrative tension, plot and character development, consistency, and pace. I understand how intrusive editing can feel and take great pride in providing an honest review and thoughtful suggestions to help you polish your manuscripts and make them shine. Authors I’ve worked with include multiple award-winners such Holly Kammier, Jessica Therrien, and New York Times best-seller Caroline Mitchell. Several of my clients are published in more than one country. In the role of Business Coordinator (in addition to editor), I've had the privilege of planning and overseeing the day-to-day tasks for best-selling author Marci Bolden (now Marci Wilson) and Keri Salas, for whom I also produced her audiobook. At the forefront of everything, I foster an environment of open communication where projects are discussed freely and without judgment. My end goal is to work collaboratively to build a trusting, long-term relationship with each of my clients. I would love to discuss your project to see if my style is right for you!
