Hi, I'm Susan,
I used to have a job that looked great on paper. But it didn’t let me be me—meticulous, quietly creative, obsessed with clarity.
Editing unlocked something. Starting my own business let me focus my drive for detail on fiction writers like you—sitting on the edge of done—and helping you get the clarity you need to cross the finish line.
Holding a finished book? That joy is priceless. I know, because I live it every time I finish a story in my own series for young readers.
Here’s my zero-BS promise to you:
Look, you wrote it. You know what you want.
You don’t need someone telling you how to “find your voice” or “fix your style.”
You want someone you can hand off to—who can take your story, protect it, and get it ready without wrecking what makes it yours.
Working with me means we won’t overthink sentences, words, or all those grammar rules. If your words need to breathe outside the rules, that’s exactly what we’ll do.
No drama. No second-guessing. Just done.
Because you deserve to say: “Yeah, that’s my book. I’m proud. I’m ready.”
“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
“My editing promise to you: This is not correction ... it's partnership.”
The best editing is the kind you don’t see.
Choose your editor like you would a good friend—someone who has your back, tells you the straight-up truth, but understands the best way to hand it to you.
