The finishing touches for your story—explained.

My Process

This is the part where your manuscript gets polished so your curated reading experience comes to life—readers stay lost in your story, not tripped up by small errors.

I’m currently accepting new manuscripts—here’s how to get started.

  • 1 Reach out: A few lines about your project are all I need—short, sweet, no essays required.
  • 2 I’ll take a look: You send a sample, and I’ll see exactly what your manuscript needs.
  • 3 We make a plan: Timeline, scope, and pricing—everything upfront, no surprises later.
  • 4 Then the work begins: I go through your manuscript carefully—polishing, smoothing, and catching anything that might trip up your readers—without rewriting your story.

Do you have a little voice saying, “AI could just do this …”

I get it. You’re weighing the cost and wondering if an AI tool would do just as good a job. But will it feel right?

I’ve seen what AI can do to good stories. It sands off the edges, flattens the spark, and leaves something that reads “okay-ish,” but it doesn’t breathe. It has no soul.

You want a real editor who respects your voice and keeps your story human.
