Developmental Editor for Fantasy & Science Fiction Authors
Great storytelling isn’t just about words on a page—it’s about transformation, connection, and impact. Every writer has a unique voice and a story worth telling, but bringing that vision to life requires clarity, structure, and expert guidance. I partner with authors to refine their manuscripts, ensuring that their stories not only resonate with readers but also leave a lasting impression.
My approach is rooted in the belief that every writer deserves an editor who sees their story for what it is—and what it can become. Working with me goes beyond just making edits; it’s about collaboration, mentorship, and uncovering the heart of a story. I ensure that writers not only receive actionable, constructive feedback but also gain the confidence to continue their creative journey with clarity and purpose.
Writers, particularly those stepping into new creative phases, deserve an editing experience that honors their original vision while helping them elevate their work to its fullest potential. My goal is to bridge the gap between raw creativity and polished storytelling by providing developmental editing that is deeply insightful, strategic, and personalized to each author’s journey.
This isn’t just about editing—it’s about helping authors craft unforgettable stories that truly matter.
A Comprehensive Developmental Edit for Your Fantasy Novel
l want to create a world where stories don’t just entertain—they transform. Fiction has the power to shape perspectives, challenge ideas, and leave a profound impact on readers long after they’ve turned the last page. My mission is to help writers craft unforgettable stories—narratives that aren’t just well written, but deeply resonant and emotionally engaging.
Through a thoughtful, empowering, and structured editing process, I aim to create a space where writers feel supported, encouraged, and inspired to bring their creative visions to life. Editing should never feel like a roadblock—it should be an opportunity for growth, discovery, and refining the essence of a story.
Editing Services without Gatekeeping
I believe that revisions aren't about imposing a one-size-fits-all formula. It’s about helping writers see the full potential of their manuscript while staying true to their vision. My approach is supportive, encouraging, and deeply invested, ensuring that writers walk away feeling empowered, not overwhelmed.
Your editing process should be unique as your writing voice and imaginative plot. I want to cut through the noise of writing advice to make storytelling more accessible and intuitive. To edit fantasy books, you need a fantasy editor, not simply a book editor. My suggestions on your draft will be tailored to the current expectations within the market to help your book find its readers.
Revise your Novel with Thoughtful Feedback
Every writer has a story worth telling, but sometimes, it’s hard to see the big picture when you're deep in the creative process. Editing isn’t about changing a story—it’s about empowering writers to tell the best version of it.
Great storytelling is both an art and a science.
I help writers connect creativity with analytical insights, breaking down why certain stories work and how they can be refined using story structure, character development, and pacing strategies. I am passionate about cutting through the noise of generic writing advice to provide clear, actionable feedback that actually makes a difference.
An editor’s job isn’t to rewrite—it’s to help shape a manuscript into its strongest form while staying true to the writer’s intent. My goal is to collaborate with you, not gatekeep writing advice. Whether you're hoping to independently publish your novel or find a literary agent to represent you, my goal is to assist you in making your story unforgettable and to help you navigate a constantly changing landscape.
By the end of our time working together, you'll walk away with thorough editorial letter, which will give you all of the big-picture feedback you need to take your story to the next level. In contrast to a copy edit, which concentrates on grammar and mechanics, a developmental edit provides a more in-depth analysis of the plot, character arcs, and overall structure of your novel.
With a background in both creative writing and analytical storytelling, I blend intuition with structure, offering insights that cut through the noise of overwhelming fiction advice. Whether working with emerging or experienced authors, I help them unlock the full potential of their manuscripts, ensuring their stories not only entertain but resonate with readers long after they’ve turned the last page.
I love working with authors to help them develop their skills as a professional storyteller. This isn’t just about editing—it’s about partnering with writers to bring their creative vision to life in a way that is thoughtful, intentional, and unforgettable. I use feedback that is encouraging but honest, ensuring writers feel empowered, not defeated.
