Freelance Fiction Editor


You've poured your heart and soul into your manuscript, and readers are trusting you to take them on a new and exciting literary journey. Typos on the page are like speed bumps in the road that disrupt the flow of words. My job is to make sure that your story remains the hero and there are no distractions for the reader.

This is a technical review of your manuscript for correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, proper capitalization of character and place names (according to your style guide), and consistency of the story.
The final "last look" to identify any remaining technical errors, typos, and/or formatting issues to ensure your manuscript looks professional, polished, and ready for print.
PLEASE NOTE: I hold to the pronoun usage standards of the Chicago Manual of Style Edition 17

I love to read - I'm the quintessential bookworm and can usually be found snuggled on the couch with the dog and a novel in my hand (hardcover, of course).
I am also a stickler for polished writing - nothing takes me out of a story faster than a typo! My mental red pen is always working. One day, I had an epiphany: wouldn't it be great if I could help catch those pesky errors before a book makes it to print?
And just like that, Eagle Eye Editing was born.
When I think back on my favorite books, I'm drawn to them not only for the quality of the writing but also the excellent editing that kept me engaged in the story and not mentally correcting errors. Let's give your manuscript the professional polish that will make it your readers' next favorite book!

That's easy! I'm a stickler for proper punctuation and polished writing. Early in my previous career as a marketer, I earned the nickname "Eagle Eye" because I often found misspellings and typos that my colleagues missed. I understand that what you write - whether it's a sell sheet or a book series - makes an impression. I wear that nickname proudly because it speaks to my ability to see things that others miss.
I edit fiction novels that are Middle Grade, YA, or Adult. No picture books, children's books or nonfiction. Please also note that I do not edit stories with graphic sexual content or to gender affirming pronouns.
Yes! I highly recommend you have content and line editors review your manuscript before working with me. My forte is on the technical side (i.e. grammar, punctuation, typos, etc.) and I excel at it. As such, my services do not include providing feedback on story arcs, scene pacing, character development, etc.
It depends on your manuscript. Please send me a note via the contact button at either the top or the bottom of this page so that we can discuss your project in more detail!
Integrity. Dependability. No B.S.
Rest assured your manuscript is in good hands - I will be clear regarding pricing, timing, etc. so you know exactly what to expect upfront, and then I'll communicate every step of the way. Your edits will be completed professionally and on time.
