Complex story.
Clear revision.
You’ve finished your manuscript. Now you need to know what’s working, what still needs attention, and which changes will make the greatest difference.
I help writers of fantasy, historical fiction, science fiction, and other layered stories understand how the moving parts of their manuscript work together, and find a practical path to the final draft.
Ways to work with me
Manuscript Analysis
For writers with a completed draft. A written editorial report and private consultation will clarify what works, what needs attention, and which revisions matter most.
Story Coaching
For writers still drafting or revising. Work through structure, character, scenes, and story problems with focused guidance tailored to your manuscript and revision goals.
Series Planning
For writers developing a story across multiple books. Build a roadmap that supports satisfying individual volumes and a coherent, compelling series arc.

An editor for stories with many moving parts
I’m drawn to ambitious stories, developed worlds, complicated characters, mythic themes, and subplots that deepen the whole.
My background in archaeology, archives, teaching, and developmental editing helps me recognize patterns, ask useful questions, and understand how each part contributes to the story you want to tell.
