You know that feeling when you read a book that flows smooth as silk?
Your readers can soon be holding your book and feeling the same way—falling into your story and staying there.
Hi, I'm Susan,
And I'm glad you're here. Because I wasn't the star athlete or math student growing up—tall, awkward, and fumbling through fractions. But hand me a sentence diagram? I was unstoppable.
That's how editing found me. The knack I’d always had for language—spotting what makes a sentence stumble, hearing when a rhythm’s off—turned out to be my superpower.
I sometimes read a paragraph, and my brain just stops. I know what your reader will trip over long before anyone else sees it.
Here's what working with me is:
"Fixing" your book? Nope.
Rewriting it? Nope again.
Turning it into someone else’s story? Absolutely nope.
I’m here to read it like a person—your first reader, your biggest fan.
- Sometimes it’s a missing beat.
- Maybe a word that’s not quite right.
I point those out. I help you see them. That’s it. Your voice stays yours. Your story stays yours.
Think of me as a partner sitting next to you. I see where you are. I notice the things you might have missed. And together, we make sure your words can do exactly what you want them to do: reach a reader and keep your heart in it.
This is who I am—a guiding hand, leaning over your shoulder, pointing things out, whispering, "Hey, take a look at this," and otherwise leaving your story exactly yours.
“Susan is a delight to work with. Never once did I feel that she didn’t have the best intentions for me or my book.”
—Dan Sacry
“This isn't correction ... it's partnership.”
The best editing is the kind you don’t see.
Your readers won’t notice it—but they’ll feel it.
