Developmental and line-level editing for books and screenplays
Since 2008, I’ve worked with fiction and nonfiction writers on book
and screenplay manuscripts at all stages—from early drafts through
submission, publication, and production—bringing focused editorial
judgment across structure, language, and narrative voice.
A Thoughtful, Professional Editing Process

Editorial Judgment Built on Experience
Since 2008, I’ve worked with fiction and nonfiction writers on books and screenplays at a wide range of stages—from early drafts to submission, publication, and production.
Before founding my editing practice, I served as an English-language editor at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris, working on complex, high-stakes texts for an international audience. That experience continues to inform how I read, assess, and edit long-form work.
I’ve edited projects that have gone on to be traditionally published, successfully self-published, and produced for the screen. In every case, my role is to bring clear editorial judgment to the work and help it stand on its own.

NEW TO WORKING WITH AN EDITOR?
If you’d like to get a sense of my editing approach before starting a project, you’re welcome to request a free sample edit. I’ll review and lightly edit the first pages of your book or screenplay and return them with comments, so you can see how I work and what my feedback looks like.
To request a sample edit, email me the first 5–10 pages of your book (in Word format) or screenplay (in FinalDraft, PDF or Word format) along with the service you're interested in.
HAVE A PARTICULAR APPROACH IN MIND?
If there’s a specific focus, concern, or approach you’d like me to be aware of—such as voice, structure, or submission goals—you’re welcome to share that context before starting.
You can reach me by email, or include notes when submitting a project through the order form.
