Hello there! Thank you so much for your interest in working with me. I'm honored and so excited. I seriously love working with writers and want nothing more than to find that hungry author who's fiercely determined, super creative and full of can-do attitude! Is that you? I think it is!!
Now, this won't be your "everything's fine" editing quick scan. I don't skimp or cut corners and I'm definitely not for everyone. My big strengths are with developmental editing in YA, MG and Adult. The only thing I don't read is horror, so please don't sent your horror story my way!
I'm also a very straight-forward editor. I point out what isn't working, but I also point out what is. Finally, because I'm looking at those huge core issues of your story (and revising those issues tends to change a LOT in a book) I'm not the best editor for someone married to their words. I want you to feel great about the edit you'll receive from me so please don't apply if you're looking for a copy edit or a proofread. This is not to say your book will need tons of changes; I won't know that til I read it. :) But you should definitely come into this with an open heart and open mind.
So, if this all sounds good and sounds like you, please fill out the questions below to the best of your ability. Because I only take on 1-2 writers to work one-on-one with per month and do not offer refunds, your answers are extremely important to me. I want to make sure that I'm the right editor for you, you're the right author for me, and that your expectations will be more than met. Basically, I want us to be a great author-editor team!
I can't wait to hear from you! Once I receive your form, I'll be in touch soon.
