Whether you’re at first draft, honing your manuscript with the plan of approaching a publisher or agent, or looking to self-publish, a good editor is a must!
-
A thoughtful, big-picture read of your manuscript, highlighting what’s working, what needs attention and how to move forward with confidence.
-
Collaborative, in-depth editing to strengthen structure, flow and voice, while keeping your story and writing unmistakably yours.
-
Supportive, practical feedback to help shape your query letter or proposal into a clear, engaging pitch that opens doors.
-
Engaging copywriting that brings your book to life and communicates its heart in a way that draws readers in.
-
Your manuscript might be in great shape but could do with a simple copyedit or proofread. It’s really important not to skip this step if you’re self-publishing!
“I’m so glad I found Beth. We first connected through a publisher, and I later sought her out specifically for developmental editing because of her compassion, attunement, and respectful approach. From the outset, I felt completely at ease and quickly developed trust in her thoughtful suggestions around structure, content, and thematic clarity in my non-fiction manuscript. Beth’s feedback was clear, perceptive, and always encouraging, helping me sharpen my key messages without losing my voice. Just as importantly, her steady positivity sustained me through the more gruelling stages of the process.
I wholeheartedly recommend Beth to anyone seeking developmental editorial support. She is insightful, communicative, and genuinely a pleasure to work with.”

“I love Beth’s approach as an editor, and I highly recommend her. In particular, she’s great for those who are new to editing. It’s daunting to feel that changes are needed to a painstakingly written manuscript, but Beth guides the writer with care and sensitivity.
She uses her extensive knowledge in the publishing industry to help create the most saleable manuscript, but at the same time she listens carefully to the writer’s desires and intentions for their work to be sure these qualities are not lost.”
— Linda Blair, Clinical Psychologist and Author
