As an editor…
I offer direct and honest feedback, because I find that to be more valuable than honeyed words and sugar-coated critiques. I’m not cruel or without empathy and compassion, and I will never leave you without a solution or a suggestion. I want my clients to feel confident in their work and I find truthfulness to be the best pathway to that.

*I have yet to find anything that triggers me personally, but always be respectful to your editors (and anyone else reading your book) and provide a list of Trigger/Content warnings.
*as with everything in life, there are always exceptions. I may decline to edit your book if I don’t feel that I am the right person for it. If you are unsure of whether or not I would be a good fit, let’s talk about it!
