Thoughtful and precise novel editing services tailored for first-time and experienced authors. I refine manuscripts with care, focusing on clarity, structure, and impact.

 A Thoughtful Approach to Editing Your Novel.

My fiction editing services provide detailed feedback and careful revisions to enhance clarity, style, and emotional depth. Whether you're a first-time author or an experienced writer, I meet you where you are in your journey.

Every manuscript is unique, which is why I offer line editing services, developmental editing services, and manuscript editing to ensure your book reaches its full potential. My goal is to bring out the best in your writing while preserving your voice.

Ensure Your Novel Is Flawless Before Publishing.

For authors who have completed their revisions, my novel proofreading service is the final step before publication. I carefully review grammar, punctuation, and consistency to eliminate any lingering errors. This service is ideal for authors who have already undergone line editing services, developmental editing services, or other novel editing services and want a polished final manuscript.

Get Your Manuscript Agent-Ready.

For writers pursuing traditional publishing, I go beyond editing by offering insight into what agents and publishers look for in a manuscript. After my novel editing services, I provide tailored feedback to strengthen your submission package. A polished manuscript isn’t just about great writing—it’s about marketability, too.

What Writers Say About My Editing Services.

  • Christian Durso, Netflix Creator, The Stranded

    “If there is a book inside of you, E.O. has the light by which you will find it. She saved me from years of mistakes. I gave her a mess of a first draft, and she helped me find the core of what I was trying to get across. She operates with a razor eye on the line level and a generous heart on the story level. I would’ve been lost without her guidance. I’ve found the editor I want to work with for everything I write.”

  • Marilyn Fu, Professor at Columbia University School of the Arts

    “E.O.’s approach pairs actionable, high-level feedback with questions that tap into my subconscious writing self. She opened my eyes to the value of world-building for all aspects of my book. She saw literary fiction in my spaghetti-on-the-wall first draft and drew out the sellable genre elements. I could not have reached this point without her wisdom and positivity. I want to work with her on every novel I write.”

  • Leyla Ostin, Picture Book Author

    “E.O. is an incredible editor who has been instrumental in bringing our book to life. Her expertise and creative vision have nurtured and grown our ideas, turning them into a reality. E.O.'s guidance and support throughout the process were invaluable, and we couldn't have brought our book to fruition without her. She's truly a master at helping authors realize their full potential.”

  • Shehera Barnes, Oracle Card Author

    “From the outset, E.O. demonstrated a profound understanding of the vision I had. She possessed a remarkable ability to grasp the intricate themes and messages I aimed to convey, and her editorial suggestions were transformative. It was clear she genuinely cared about bringing the best possible version of the Oracle Card Guide to life.”
