If you're looking for an editor for a short story, novella, or novel and it falls under the umbrella of speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, horror, and dark fiction), I would love to talk to you. Proofreading includes grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and tightening of language. You can expect me to get through 2-8 double-spaced pages (500-2,000 words) per hour, depending on the state of the manuscript. This proofing can be done on paper or digitally (via e-mailed document or Google Doc). This service does not include structural recommendations or a comprehensive critique; all commentary or feedback will be on the manuscript itself. I have been writing fiction seriously since 1997. I have sold several short stories, primarily to periodicals, and have written and edited two short story collections. I have been in a number of critique groups over the past 20 years, and have assisted fellow authors improve their writing and get their short stories and novels published. I'm available and happy to work on young adult, new adult, and adult fiction.
