the FINE EDIT
for YOUR STORY.

You know what you meant. I know how to read it. I’m looking at your words and paying attention to when they don’t quite do what you thought they were doing.

the FINE EDIT
for YOUR STORY.

You know what you meant.
I know how to read it.
That’s the heart of my job.

From writers who’ve
been where you are.

“Susan must be the right editor for me. She tells you what she can do and then she does it, all in a way that is nothing but friendly and professional.”

– Dan, author

“Susan took the time to really know what I wanted. I couldn’t recommend her higher.”

– Chris, author

“Susan really focuses on the details. I appreciated her positive feedback as well. I’ll recommend her to other writers and plan to work with her again.”

Before I Touch a Word …

I want to know what you’re trying to say.

You’ve made a thousand decisions getting your manuscript here. Some were easy. Some weren’t. Some probably involved deleting something you loved.

Before I start pointing out the places where a sentence stumbles or a word isn’t quite right, I want to understand what you want—and what you don’t want to lose along the way.

Sit Back ... Relax

And for once, when you think about your book, you’re not thinking: What did I miss?

But instead ...

“I did it.” You can open the file without immediately finding something you want to change. You can talk about your book without adding, “Well, except for…”

Let yourself be excited. Maybe even start jotting down the next story you’ve been thinking about.

That’s what I want for you when your book leaves my desk.
