I offer thoughtful, thorough editorial support for genre fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, romance, mystery, thriller, etc.). My work is grounded in an academic background in speculative fiction. I aim to balance craft, clarity, and critical insight, helping your work become the strongest version of itself while staying true to your voice and vision.

Whether you’re revising a draft or preparing a manuscript for submission or publication, I focus on both the story you’re telling and the ideas you’re exploring.

I want to magnify the message of your story.

Before any service, I offer a free sample edit to ensure that we’re a good fit. See more details below.

Developmental Editing

Developmental editing looks at the big picture of your manuscript. This service is ideal if you want in-depth feedback on how your story works as a whole.

For this, I provide detailed commentary on elements such as:

• plot structure and pacing
• character development and motivation
• worldbuilding and internal logic
• theme, symbolism, and conceptual depth
• cenre expectations and subversion

You’ll receive an editorial letter and in-manuscript comments designed to guide revision, ask productive questions, and help you sharpen both narrative momentum and meaning.

Line Editing

Line editing is the deep refinement. Therefore, this service is ideal for manuscripts that are structurally sound but could benefit from stronger clarity, style, and flow.

The elements I will be analyzing are:

• sentence structure, rhythm, and readability
• word choice, tone, and voice consistency
• clarity of ideas and pacing
• strengthening dialogue and narrative flow

The goal is a polished, engaging manuscript that enhances your story’s voice while keeping your vision intact.

Proofreading

Proofreading is the final polish. This service is best for manuscripts that are already revised and close to submission or publication.

I focus on:

• grammar, spelling, and punctuation
• typos and formatting inconsistencies
• sentence-level clarity and flow
• internal consistency and fact-checking

At the end of this process, you will have a clean, professional manuscript that lets your story shine without distraction.

Genres & Background

I specialize in genre fiction, with particular interest in speculative forms, including fantasy, science fiction, horror, historical, and hybrid or cross-genre work. Through the MLitt in Fantasy Literature I received from the University of Glasgow, I bring a deep academic understanding of speculative and genre fiction which informs my editorial approach, allowing me to engage deeply with both craft and concept.

If you’re working on imaginative stories that explore meaning, myth, culture, or the strange edges of the familiar, I’d love to work with you!

Free Sample Edit & What to Expect

To ensure we’re a good fit, I offer a free sample edit of the first 3,000 words of your manuscript. This sample gives you a clear sense of my editorial style, the depth of my feedback, and how I engage with both craft and concept. It also allows me to assess the manuscript and recommend the service that will best support your goals.

If you decide to move forward, you can expect a collaborative, transparent editorial process. I approach each project with care and respect for your voice, offering feedback that is constructive, specific, and actionable. My goal is not to rewrite your work, but to help you see its strengths more clearly and identify opportunities for revision, so you can revise with confidence and intention.
