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 write, revise, or polish your manuscript, you’ve come to the right place. I’m an experienced, versatile editor who excels at helping writers compose, revise, and publish their books, articles, and stories. In 2006, I launched my freelance editing business in Seattle. Since then, I have worked with hundreds of writers. Many of them went on to publish their books, stories, memoirs, or articles.

I Work with Writers at Every Step of the Way
It doesn’t matter where you are in your writing process. My services include coaching, manuscript assessments, and developmental editing, in addition to the usual line editing, copyediting, and proofreading. You’ll find detailed descriptions of these services here.

I’m Versatile
I’m primarily a manuscript editor, but I also accept smaller jobs, including letters, articles, and short stories. I edit nonfiction, memoir, young adult fiction, literary fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, middle-grade fiction, and romance. See my bio here.
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. If you can only afford $300 worth of copy editing in your novel, that can be arranged.
I Offer Free Sample Edits and Estimates
