Making It Easy for Readers to Love Your Book
Fiction editing for romance and erotica authors
You Deserve to Feel Confident in Every Release
Readers have many choices when it comes to their next read, and a lack of editing can turn a potential fan into a disappointed customer.
Don’t let your hard work get lost inside plot holes, typos, and grammatical errors.
“Too many typos!”
“I loved the story, but then the ending ruined it.”
As an author myself, I’ve experienced the frustration of trying to find a good, affordable editor.
I care about your story, and I want to help you make it the best it can be.
Hire an Editor with the Right Credentials
I've completed all the editing coursework for my second bachelor's degree in English.
I've also successfully completed two Gale Education courses—The Keys to Effective Editing and Romance Writing—as well as Shani Raja's Punctuation Mastery course.
I know what makes a good story because I've put years of self-study into learning story structure and specifically, romance story structure.
I've studied the romance market and consumed hundreds of romance novels and erotica stories.
I've always loved the English language and have a natural talent for structuring sentences and paragraphs. As a kid, I used to read the dictionary.
I've refined my natural talents with years of writing and learning.

Choose the Level(s) of Editing to Suit Your Needs
Is your story working?
I will focus on your story’s overall structure—plot, character, setting, etc.—as well as on clarity and story logic. I will provide comments throughout the manuscript and, if needed, at the end of the document offering suggestions for improvement.
Will your grammar, punctuation, or sentence structure pull readers out of your story?
I will edit for grammar, style, and word usage using The Chicago Manual of Style, Merriam-Webster's dictionary, and my own expertise.
Did you miss any typos or grammar issues?
I will edit for surface-level mechanics which may have been missed or introduced in copyediting.
