An experienced, professional, and compassionate editor who works with traditional publishers as well as independent authors.
Someone who knows the rules but also understands that the story is more important than the rules.
Someone who will help you get your message across while letting your voice shine through.
Check, check, and check. Fiction editing requires a special touch. Drawing on skills from both sides of the brain, it addresses the nuts and bolts of a story as well as the emotional impact on the reader.
I am especially drawn to women’s fiction which focuses on a woman’s personal journey—the choices she makes, how she changes and evolves as a person. There are even elements of women’s fiction in other genres including historical fiction, literary fiction, suspense, psychological thriller, young adult, and romance. Life is full of all kinds of challenges. How we react to them and how they change us is endlessly fascinating to me.
