genres & content

I am available to edit your joyful, nerdy work, including but not limited to:
  • romance novels, novellas, and short stories, with a specialty in queer romance
  • fantasy
  • interactive fiction
  • tabletop game rulebooks and in-game text
  • shorter projects such as newsletters, blog posts, knitting patterns, cover copy, website copy, application materials, and more
I don’t work on material that involves:
  • on-page sexual violence, including in flashbacks
  • sexual content that devalues consent (consent-oriented sexually explicit material is great, though, and I welcome authors wishing to hone this part of their craft!)
  • torture
  • extensive horror elements

nuts & bolts

I primarily work in American (US) English and am well-versed in The Chicago Manual of Style and loads of other relevant resources.

​For all services other than proofreading, clients typically send me a Word or Pages file, which I edit using Track Changes and Comments. For interactive narratives, I am most used to working in Sublime Text on games written in ChoiceScript. Let me know if you have other needs.

When proofreading, I mark up PDFs in Adobe or use the Track Changes and Comments features for Word/Pages documents, according to your needs.
