Hello

As a Certified Developmental Book Editor through the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA), I combine professional editorial training and 15+ years of project management experience to guide authors through their writing journey. My deep understanding of romance reader expectations, coupled with extensive experience in historical and genealogical research, allows me to support authors with both story development and period authenticity.

I specialize in contemporary and historical romance, women's fiction, historical fiction, and fantasy, approaching each project as a story detective who uncovers hidden character qualities and plot threads that transform good stories into unforgettable ones. Whether analyzing character motivations or verifying historical accuracy, I bring both editorial expertise and research precision to every manuscript.

Are you ready to work together?
