Editing services for indie authors 🩵

Are you looking for an editor who...

✔️ will love your story but not shy away from providing constructive criticism it needs?

✔️ will be a loud supporter of you after the manuscript is returned (you just gotta keep me posted, guys!)?

✔️ Is a queer, nero-spicy editor who will ensure the editing process is a safe space for you?

✔️ wants to amplify the marginalized voices within a diverse world?

✔️ is an indie author who understands how scary and overwhelming this can be?

✔️ wants to provide quality editing for her fellow indie authors without breaking the bank?

If you're looking for all that and more, we should chat! I offer developmental editing, manuscript evaluations, and proofreading. While I primarily focus in on romance, I am always open to discussing other genres with authors.

I'm looking to fill my calendar for the rest of 2025 and would love to work with you! Reach out today for a free 2,000 word sample edit.

... Read moreFinding the right editor can be a challenging journey, especially for indie authors who often work with limited budgets. Having an editor who not only cares about your story but also understands the unique struggles of indie authors is essential. As a queer, neurodivergent editor, I prioritize creating a supportive environment for all authors, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds. My focus on romance allows me to bring a tailored approach to each manuscript, ensuring both the emotional depth and structural integrity of your story are upheld. I also believe in building trust with authors, providing honest and constructive feedback while celebrating their creative vision. A free 2,000-word sample edit can help you gauge whether my editing style aligns with your needs. Understanding your voice and vision is my primary goal, and together, we can enhance your manuscript into a compelling narrative that resonates with your target audience. In the competitive world of self-publishing, quality editing can significantly impact your book’s reception. Indie authors should never have to compromise on the quality of their work due to financial constraints. Let's collaborate and bring your stories to life while respecting your budget! Reach out today, and let’s make your manuscript the best it can be!

Support authors without spending a dime
Not many readers realize how little authors actually make. Traditionally published authors make cents per copy sold, and indies might make a little more, but they don’t sell as many books as trad. authors. Everyone is short on funds in this economy, but there are more ways to support your favorite
