Literary Editing

My goal is to help authors close the gap between their intention and what’s on the page by editing for psychological truth. 

I offer developmental and copy editing services.

Developmental editing focuses on structure, pacing, plot, and character. I help authors pinpoint what’s not working and why with feedback on narrative clarity, thematic strengths and weaknesses. I then provide a framework to shape the next draft and strengthen the manuscript as a whole.

Copy editing addresses grammar, spelling, sentence structure, clarity, and style consistency. I help refine the writing while preserving the author’s voice.
