Editing for Independent Authors of Fantasy and Romance
Maybe you’ve just finished writing your first ever book, or maybe you’ve finally penned a satisfying ending for that epic series you began building years ago. Either way, you should feel a sense of pride and accomplishment for weaving a story as unique as you are. Now, it’s time to bring on an editor to help ready your work to be welcomed by avid readers.
Why work with an editor?
You’re human.
In our world where artificially-generated ideas, stories, and art are increasingly common, it matters to readers that you wrote this story yourself. We want to celebrate stories written by humans, for humans. Your current and future readers are going to expect a high-quality piece of work, which you’re already well on your way to publishing. As your editor, I can spot typos, timeline and continuity errors, plot holes, and other common issues that could cause a problem for your readers.
Your job is to create a story that readers will want to fall into; my job is to keep them from being taken out of that story because of an editing mistake.
Fresh eyes, clear mind.
As the author of a brand new story, you’ve been busy. Dreaming up the characters, building the setting, and fitting together an intriguing plot. Maybe you’re even laying the groundwork for a sequel, spin-off, or prequel, or perhaps jotting ideas on the side for a whole new story after this one. With all of that in mind, you’ve probably become fully immersed in your work.
Before you launch your book into the world, having an editor with a fresh perspective look over the finer points of your writing will be hugely beneficial. I’m here to help make your story the best it can be.
