Respecting Your Voice. Elevating Your Story.

As a writer, your words carry your voice, your style, and your intent. My role is to preserve all three—while helping you deliver a manuscript that’s clean, compelling, and ready for readers.

Whether you’re preparing a novel, memoir, short story collection, or creative nonfiction, I offer editing and proofreading services that balance technical excellence with deep respect for your artistry.

What I Edit:
• Novels (all genres)
• Short story collections
• Memoirs and personal essays
• Creative nonfiction
• KDP-ready manuscripts

Editing Services:
• Developmental Editing – Structural feedback on pacing, clarity, character, and arc
• Line Editing – Sentence-level polish to enhance rhythm, tone, and readability
• Copyediting - Sentence-level consistency, grammar, and clarity after major structural edits are complete.
• Proofreading – Final review for grammar, punctuation, and consistency
• Beta Reading – Honest, thoughtful feedback from a
professional editor's perspective

I am so happy that I hired Susan. She gives very thorough feedback and had great suggestions. She clearly knows her craft and I feel like my manuscript will be so much better now. Just like me, she is starting out on Upwork but she is a fantastic editor and beta reader. I will be hiring Susan again with the next step of my book. Thank you, Susan!
