“Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.” — Albert Camus

Developmental Fiction Editing

Let’s face it, the publishing industry is not going to provide anywhere near the level of editing that was common in the past. You need to take your story into your own hands.

Whether you are getting a manuscript ready to shop around to agents and publishers or looking to self-publish, I can help you express the best story that you can imagine.

I will respect your unique voice and vision.

Let me put my editing and literary fiction certificates from the University of Washington to work on the following fictional elements of your story:

• plot, form, and structure
• character
• ground situation
• place and atmosphere
• scene and summary
• dialogue
• point of view
• voice
• sentence rhythm
• transitions and pacing
