corrections, and you were really respectful of my speaking/writing voice—I so

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR PUBLISHING CAREER. BUT DON’T GO IT ALONE.

YOUR PUBLISHING BFF IS HERE FOR YOU, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

YOU’RE WORTH THE INVESTMENT



Publishing done right typically involves a significant investment, with editing
and coaching carrying some of the highest price tags.

But working with a professional editor/coach pays dividends for authors who are
playing the long game. Lessons learned from a coach during the writing of your
first few books and from a line/copy editor before launching your debut into the
world will be carried into subsequent projects, extending the value of your
personal and financial investment and likely decreasing your costs over time.

The better you self-edit, the less time and effort your editor will need to put
into your book, thus shrinking your initial outlay.

Reserve your place on Your Publishing BFF’s calendar by paying your deposit,
then save up to make payments until your edits are complete. Coaching sessions
may be purchased one at a time, or you can buy multiple at a discount. Write off
the expense on your author business taxes, and remember: You’re worth the
investment.

Send me a sample



DO YOU WORK ON MORE THAN JUST ROMANCE?

Yes! I also edit cozy mystery and children’s books. And websites, author bios,
book blurbs, blog posts, and more!

I edit other genres and subjects on a case-by-case basis. And of course, if I
can’t help you, I will refer you to one of my skilled colleagues.





WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU?

I can point you to testimonials and acknowledgment sections from published
authors. Industry professionals trust me as well:

 * Subcontractor, HEA Author Services (2021–)

 * Partner member, Alliance of Independent Authors (2023–)

 * Member at Large, Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA) board of governors
   (2023–25)

 * Chair, Contemporary Romance Writers virtual writing conference (2024)

 * Co-chair, Contemporary Romance Writers virtual writing conference (2023)

 * Member of the Year, Contemporary Romance Writers (2022)

 * Member, Passionate Ink (2024–)

 * Clubhouse host, EFA social media committee (2023)

 * Member, EFA publications committee (2021–23)

 * Mentor, EFA welcoming program (2022–23)

 * Member, EFA Diversity, Equity, and Belonging group (2021–23)

 * Member, LGBTQ+ Editors Association (2023–)

Ultimately, however, you’ll need to trust yourself to have hired the right
person. For your protection, our editing and coaching agreements are legally
binding, so if I would ever lack integrity, you’d have legal recourse.


WILL I LIKE WORKING WITH YOU?

I hope so!

I’ve been described as bubbly and sarcastic, outgoing and quiet, assertive and a
good listener. I err on the side of formality when it comes to business matters,
but my comments in clients’ manuscripts are warm and positive; I never use
imperatives, and I always suggest replacements when I recommend a change.

As your coach, I’m lighthearted and encouraging. My goal is to help you meet
your goals. That includes sending you memes and animal reels to illustrate
concepts we’ve discussed or just to remind you that while you’re alone in your
writing cave, you’re not alone in the world.

Likewise, you’re welcome to reach out to ask questions, seek feedback, or share
something fun or heartbreaking between manuscripts. I don’t just edit; I build
relationships. My vision of Your Publishing BFF is a buddy, a best friend, a
colleague with complementary skills who supports you with wraparound care. Your
Publishing BFF is not a fair-weather friend; I’m here for you before, during,
and after the editing and publishing.


About me


BUT WHAT HAVE YOU PUBLISHED?

I’ve never liked the saying “those who can’t do, teach,” as it implies teachers
who can’t do what their students do are ineffective educators. Not only is that
expectation inherently ableist, it ignores the reality that some people are
better analyzers than others, that some individuals’ strengths lie in
imagination and others’ lie in guidance, and that some people love to read but
just don’t like to write long books.

All that to say, yes, I have been published. I have a short story in the 2023
anthology, Pride and Presents, published by the Rainbow Romance Writers. “Simon
Says Yes” features the search for the perfect Halloween costume and the return
of joy and love after a season of grief and heartbreak. The story includes gay,
trans, nonbinary, small fat, and drag representation.

I’ve also written a novel, but it’s permanently in the revision stage, and I’d
prefer to help other people with their books than spend time on mine.

Additionally, I worked as a newspaper feature writer, photographer, and
occasional copyeditor for fourteen years, so my nonfiction and short-form
writing skills are on point.


I DON’T SEE MY SERVICE LISTED. DO YOU DO X, Y, OR Z?

The benefit of working with a neurodivergent, multipotentialite editor with 20
years of publishing/media industry experience is that you have access to untold
capabilities. I’ve endeavored to provide a full picture of what I can do for
you, but it’s by no means exhaustive. I hope to add Squarespace website design
and update services, as well as manuscript preparation for audiobook narration,
sometime this year.

Tell me about your needs, and I’ll either provide solutions or direct you to
other professionals.
