I’m a developmental editor who works with indie authors to turn promising manuscripts into strong, compelling stories.

I’ve been a lifelong reader, drawn to everything from soft and sweet romances to dark, gritty fiction and twisty mysteries. That range shapes how I approach editing. I understand genre expectations, reader experience, and what makes a story truly satisfying.

Since 2022, I’ve worked closely with indie authors to develop their manuscripts through detailed, collaborative editing. In 2023, I stepped away from my full-time role to focus on building my business and supporting authors, something I was encouraged to do by the writers I’d already been working with.

If you feel like something in your story isn’t quite working, whether it’s pacing, character development, plot structure, or overall flow, but you can’t quite pinpoint why, that’s exactly where developmental editing comes in.

As a developmental editor, I take a deep dive into your manuscript to identify what’s working, what’s not, and how to strengthen it. This includes:

- Plot structure and story cohesion

- Character development and emotional arcs

- Pacing and reader engagement

- Consistency and clarity

- Overall story impact

My goal is never to change your voice or take over your story. It’s to help you refine what’s already there, so your book connects with readers in the way you want it to.

I believe the best editing is collaborative, supportive, and honest.

If you’re looking for a developmental editor for your manuscript, I’d love to connect and see if we’re the right fit. You can get in touch to discuss your project and next steps.

If you’re a reader, you can also explore my online storefront, Deep Roots Indie Bookstore, via the link at the top of the page, where I feature indie books I’ve worked on alongside other amazing indie authors.
