Put YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD

You may have finished that novel or presentation, but is it ready for the audience?

I can help. 

When you’re too close to your work, you can miss obvious things like repeated words, too much passive voice, or run-on sentences.

That’s where an editor comes in.  Your novel, your presentation, your brochure needs to look it’s best. An editor provides that fresh set of eyes that gets you over that last hump.

I edit books for Down & Out Books, a crime fiction imprint. I can also help you with your own crime fiction or speculative fiction work. Contact me for more details.
