I’m an editor based in Texas with a degree in Literature and a lifelong love for storytelling. I studied American and British literature in college, where I fell in love with character-driven fiction and the quiet power of a well-crafted sentence. Editing, to me, isn’t just about fixing grammar — it’s about protecting a writer’s voice while helping their story shine. I specialize in thoughtful book summaries and developmental edits, especially in contemporary and character-focused fiction. Most days you’ll find me with a cup of coffee, a marked-up manuscript, and a Texas sunset outside my window. Editor. Reader. Story enthusiast. ✨
