| freelance editing |
From publishing contracts to cover reveals, I’ve worked on books through nearly every stage of the editorial, production, and publicity processes. I’ve held editing positions with literary arts magazines, both print and digital, and small independent trade publishers. I’m also a writer.
As a freelance editor, I offer a unique perspective for established and ascending authors: Personalized, constructive, and detail-oriented editing services—from one writer to another—as well as valuable insight on the publishing industry.
Above are cover images of some of the books I’ve worked on. Below are some of the freelance services I offer. Rates are negotiable and quotes are free—we can tailor my role based on your needs and your vision for the work.

Let’s work together!
