I am a freelance independent editor handling both fiction and nonfiction: novels, short stories, narrative nonfiction, and memoir.
I currently have a nearly full roster of clients and can therefore only accept a small percentage of the writers who query me. If you’re familiar with my books and blog and sincerely believe I’d be the best editor for your work, I’d be happy to receive your query. Although I can no longer respond to generic multiple-submission queries, I am still very much a sucker for a talented writer with a fabulous story and sincere passion for our wonderful art and craft.
I specialize in:
- literary fiction
- mystery
- thriller
- sci-fi
- fantasy
- women’s fiction
- historical fiction
- international fiction
- love stories
- ghost stories
- memoir & narrative nonfiction
I do not edit:
- category romance
- erotica
- horror
- violent adventure
- Christian fiction

How do I become a member?
Do you provide editing services for shorter works of fiction, say 20-30 pages?
Thanks.
