​​keen eye, queer lens, nerdy heart​

developmental editing

You've drafted a romance project. Want help identifying problems and achieving your storytelling vision? Click here for more information about developmental editing.

manuscript feedback

You have a romance or interactive fiction draft, and you’d like an expert bird’s-eye view of the story landscape—what’s working, what needs attention, and why. Click here for more information about manuscript feedback.

idea development

You’re excited about your idea for a romance or interactive fiction project, you’ve been working on an outline or synopsis or whatever it is you do to plan, and you’d like help identifying problems and opportunities before you jump in. Or, you've already jumped, but now you’re feeling a bit stuck. I can help! Click here for more information about idea development.

line/copyediting

Your project’s narrative structure and story are solid, and you’re ready to make it sparkle at the sentence level. Click here for more information about line editing and copyediting.

short projects

Need quick, expert feedback on a short document? The language tune-up service combines copyediting and proofreading to meet your under-4,000-word document where it is, with per-word pricing and an expedited process. Click here for more information about short projects.

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
