Relax. I can help.

I offer comprehensive, in-depth editing, focused not only on improving your current manuscript, but on training you to become a better writer. Many of my clients return for editing on their new manuscripts, even after they've published their first book.

Any work you send me will be edited by me alone. Unlike some editing companies, I don't have apprentice editors working under me.

I also pledge to give you an honest critique. I never promise the writer of an unpromising book that an investment in editing will make it publishable.

If you're not sure you're ready for editing, or if you feel you can't afford it at the moment, I can still help. The Writing Advice page contains a number of pieces on various topics that I've written over the years. You can purchase Self-Editing for Fiction Writers through the Self-Editing for Fiction Writers page. And the Ask the Editor page contains answers to questions I've received from clients and visitors.

So browse my website. Check out my credentials and references. If you have any questions, or just want to get to know me better before you choose an editor, I'll welcome your e-mails or phone calls.
