I’ve had a number of interesting jobs throughout my life. I have always loved reading. A few years ago through the internet, I met several wonderful authors. I helped a few of them out, and that started me in my new editing career. I’ve edited short stories, novellas, full-length manuscripts, and have done final line edits on books. I work independently as well as for publishing companies. I’m an active member of an organization called the Paranormal Romance Guild where the majority of members are authors (many are Indie/self-published). I am the PRG’s Information Officer.

I’ve gotten inside information [if you will] about all of the work (and joy) that is involved in being an author. I’ve found out that most new authors cannot afford the high cost of editing services, so I’ve decided to put my excellent proof-reading and English skills to work and help bridge that gap for them with much more reasonably priced editing services and payment methods.

I do not read/edit all genres of books. Right now, these are the types of books that I would take under consideration to proof-read and/or edit:

Young children’s books; Teen books

Non-fiction; Superhero fantasy; Sci-fi; Action/Adventure

Romances – paranormal; contempory; romantic suspense; erotic/romantica; urban fantasy; young adult

Feel free to contact me about your YOUR book, even if it’s not in the genres listed above – I would be happy to consider it.
