Seattle Editing: Quality Editing at Affordable Rates
“I really think that the great difficulty in bringing [a manuscript] into final shape is the old one of not being able to see the forest for the trees.” — Maxwell Perkins
I’ll Help You See the Forest and the Trees.
If you’re looking for an editor to help you fine-tune or completely overhaul your manuscript, you’ve come to the right place. I’m an experienced editor who excels at helping writers compose, revise, and publish their books, articles, stories, and other projects. In 2006, I launched my freelance editing business in Seattle. Since then, I have worked with hundreds of writers, often as a developmental editor (aka “big-picture” editing) or as a copy editor or line editor to eliminate errors, redundancies, and inconsistencies.

My Services are Affordable.
Editing costs are skyrocketing, but I’ve kept my rates affordable and my services flexible, so you can get the editing you need without breaking the bank. At Seattle Editing, we tailor our editing services to fit each project. A thoroughly revised manuscript might need only line editing and proofreading, while a first draft would benefit from developmental editing or a manuscript assessment.
I Work with Writers at Every Step of the Way.
It doesn’t matter where you are in your writing process. In addition to line editing, copyediting, and proofreading, my services include coaching, manuscript assessments, and developmental editing. You’ll find detailed descriptions of these services here.

I’m Flexible.
I’m primarily a book editor, but I also accept smaller jobs. As a book editor, I typically edit nonfiction, memoir, young adult fiction, literary fiction, science fiction, fantasy, middle-grade fiction, and romance. Other jobs I've undertaken include handbooks, newsletters, essays, reports, curriculum materials, and short stories. See my bio here.
