My job as an editor is to make your voice and your work shine brightly in partnership with you. Not everyone has a trusted friend or family member to look over their work before submitting to an agent or a publisher, or to self-publish. I’ve discovered a love for helping others hone their voice and their work. I’m certified by the Poynter Institute and have been critiquing and beta reading for over three years, and opened shop as a professional line and copy editor in 2021. As a relatively new editor and because I know how expensive self-publishing can be, I want to offer affordable services.

• My rate for new clients is $0.0035 per word, which translates to $350 for a 100,000-word manuscript. I will complete two rounds of editing, including copy edits, line edits, and light content edits (for example, filling plot holes or pointing out places you can add characterization). 
• Free sample edit of 1,000 words. As a newbie editor, I know you’re taking a chance on me. This allows us both to determine if we’re a good fit.
• Proofreading also available at $0.001 per word

Testimonials from current and previous clients

Working with Emily as an editor has been amazing. She's thorough, knowledgeable, and supportive. Emily has often had to deal with my hectic schedule and has always been accommodating. My appreciation for Emily exceeds the bounds of comprehension. I'm grateful for the insight and education she's provided throughout our working relationship. If you're looking for an incredible editor, I can't recommend Emily enough."
​E. Abraham

Working with Emily has been an absolute dream. She explains all of her edits, will often cite references if necessary, and never scolds me if I make the same mistake over and over again. I've worked with her on three of my novels so far, and I can't wait to work with her on many more. I would highly recommend her services to any author looking for an editor who helps them craft their best story possible."
​Hillary Raymer

Emily’s services came recommended to me through a writing group. She is wonderful to work with and communicates clearly about all the nitty gritty details of working together. I love how she explains her editing recommendations and asks questions as necessary. I hired her for both line and copy editing, and I was very happy with both services. Emily is sharp, knowledgeable, and kind. She’s also extremely thorough and has the additional insight of being a published writer herself. My final product is a well-edited book that I’m proud to release into the world. I will happily work with Emily again on my next releases."

​I also have dozens of five-star reviews on Critique Match. Here are a few of them:

“Emily has been with me since the start of chapter one through the end of my story. She has given me invaluable guidance and really helped my work to be better.”
 
“Great attention to detail especially about questions and concerns the reader might have.”
 
“Wow, this was so helpful! I love that you actually explained why you commented certain things and other ways to get that point across. It helps me learn better than just ‘fix this!’”
 
“Fantastic critique with great attention to detail and comments to help smooth out the writing.”
