Let’s Perfect Your Story Together...

You’ve done the hard part ---> writing the story. Seriously, that’s huge. Now let’s make it unforgettable (and maybe a little addictive). I specialize in developmental editing and manuscript evaluations, which means I get to dig into your plot, characters, and pacing like a very enthusiastic book detective. As a novelist, I respect your voice. I’m not here to change it. I’m here to geek out about it with you and help you build the kind of world readers turn into fandoms.

Manuscript Evaluation

Why Work With Me

I’m an award-winning writer and editor who has worked on hundreds of manuscripts across genres. As someone who works in both traditional and indie publishing spaces, I bring both creative and industry insight to every project.

​

Working with me is simple: I’m not just your editor, I’m your advocate. I’ll be your biggest cheerleader while also providing honest, thoughtful feedback to help your work reach its full potential. As someone who actively acquires books for two small presses, I understand what makes a manuscript stand out, and I’m passionate about championing authors throughout their careers.

​

Many of the writers I work with, I’ve supported since the very beginning of their journey. And yes, I end up buying every book I’ve edited…which has resulted in a very overcrowded bookshelf. (No complaints from me, though.)

Zara exceeded all my expectations and more! Her quick turnaround time was amazing, and I can't wait to work with her again in the future!
