About Me/My Experience:

I am an author and an avid reader. I have a BA in English, focusing on grammar and writing. I previously worked in a writing center at my university, helping students learn to write better. In addition, have an ACES (American Copy Editors Society) Certificate in Editing. I also just graduated from Emerson College with my MFA in Popular Fiction Writing & Publishing!

Other credentials include my BA in Psychology and my MS in a psychology-related field.

I tend to see small details that others may overlook—I spot typos all the time in published books! I have also beta-read for many writers across different genres. I am a speed reader, so I’m able to get through manuscripts quickly while also leaving comments, questions, suggestions, and corrections.

AI stance & style sheets: I do not use AI tools in my editing process. I believe that human touch is necessary, and that using AI tools is something that anyone can do. I do all of my editing based on the Merriam-Webster dictionary, American Psychological Association (APA) style guide, and my own personal style sheet (or the author’s style sheet, if they have one). I can also work with Chicago Manual of Style and other style manuals if needed.

I work with all fiction genres (and some nonfiction genres—message me if you have a certain project in mind!), all levels of spice, all content/triggers, all pairings (MF, MM, FF, FMF, MMFM, etc.).

I am autistic and multiply neurodivergent, and I absolutely respect authors’ disabilities, neurodivergences, and other differences. I love working with neurodivergent clients! I also work with anyone who is (or has characters who are) LGBTQIA+. Your work is safe with me.

Services offered:

Proofreading: I will read your entire manuscript and correct any typos, misspellings, grammatical errors, punctuation errors, tense, POV, etc.

Beta Reading: I will read your entire manuscript and offer in-line comments, suggestions, and questions about the content, characters, and storyline—I can do this in a Word doc or a PDF and write digitally in the margins.

Editing: This is a combination of line editing (making sure the words flow well while maintaining your authentic author voice) and copy editing (ensuring everything in the book is consistent) plus a detailed proofread.

NEW! Chat With an Editor: I will read your manuscript and offer in-line comments, suggestions, and reactions, and then set up a Zoom meeting for us to discuss your book—you can ask me anything! (I love fangirling over new/indie authors’ characters!)

NEW! Ask an Editor Anything: We’ll set up a one-hour Zoom to discuss anything you want with an experienced editor—brainstorming, asking for writing advice, etc.

Sensitivity Reading: I can authenticity/sensitivity read for the following:

• Autism/Autistic characters
• Characters with ADHD
• Neurodivergent characters* (depending on the neurodivergence: ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, C-PTSD, OCD)
• Large/fat characters

*I will provide a free 3-page sample upon request. This ensures that my services are what you are looking for, and that your manuscript is one I am comfortable working with.
