Editor for Hire

Although I write my own fiction, I am much better at editing the work of other writers. I edit fiction and nonfiction alike for reasonable rates. I have worked with writers of all experience levels - from published authors whose books have been reviewed by The Washington Post, to dilettantes with literary dreams. I have edited everything from personal memoirs to legal casebooks to historical dissertations to erotica and mystery novels.

If you hire me as your editor, you can expect my professional input on everything from your commas to your grand literary themes. You can expect constant email support as well as scheduled personal meetings about your work at your coffee shop of choice. You can also expect plenty of follow-up advice and expertise on the business side of writing - agent queries, synopses, websites, publicity, and other concerns. I will do my best to take your manuscript from a rough draft to a published book.

Please contact me for my rates.
