Editing Services for Self-Publishing Authors

Ready to Polish Your Novel Into Something Brilliant?

I’m here to help you shape your story into its sharpest, most resonant form.

Editing is a partnership in which my goal is to amplify your voice, not overwrite it.

Whether you're revising your first draft or prepping for publication, I’ll meet you where you are with clarity, compassion, and a commitment to your creative vision.

Book titled 'Dragon Dreamer' by Ella T Holmes rests on a white background. The book cover is shades of forest green and features a digitally drawn dragon above the white text of the title.

What I Bring to the Editing Table:

- Genre-savvy editing for fantasy, fantasy romance, literary fiction, and contemporary romance.

- Audience insight that will help you deliver exactly what your readers want, including but not limited to emotional payoff, worldbuilding depth, the suspense of a good mystery, and tension.

- Flexible communication style tailored to your needs. If you want blunt honesty, I’ll bring the red pen. If you refer a gentler touch, I’ll guide you with care.

- Budget-conscious options that make professional editing accessible without compromising quality.

- Qualifications and experience:

Why is editing important?

Hiring an editor isn’t just about fixing small errors or clunky sentences, it’s about unlocking your story’s full potential.

An editor sees what readers will feel, where pacing falters, and where your words can be brighter, bolder, and more effective.

How it works:

 

1. Fill in the form at the bottom of the page with the details I need to know.

 

2. I will e-mail you with my availability and an estimated timeframe of completion based on word count.

 

3. Depending on your wants and needs, I love to have a Google Meeting where we introduce ourselves, discuss your project and what you hope to get from my editing services as well as any particular concerns you have.

This helps us both develop a better understanding of whether I am a good fit for you, and alleviates some anxiety about sending your work out to someone you don’t know.

 

4. I will send updates as I pass each quarter of the book so you know where I’m at and that progress is being made.

 

5. The steps from here vary from person to person and project to project!
