Ever since I can remember, I have loved reading books.
In elementary school, I decided to become a writer.
I have published several books.
Currently in the middle of writing a fantasy book in English for adults.
The Israeli writers I admire the most - Esther Streit Wurzel, Dvora Omer.
Other authors I admire - Brandon Sanderson, Sherrilyn Kenyon,
Christine Feehan, Orson Scott Card.
There are more of course, but these are at the top of the list.

An Engineering degree in design and visual communication,

After I learned to publish books independently through Amazon and Ingram Spark
(You can find more information about this in Hebrew - here).
I took a writing course at Liron Fine's publishing house,
it was an in-depth and extremely enriching course.
That is how I later moved on to study a literary editing course
at the Editors' House in an orderly manner.
2022: Literary editing course at Liron Fayne's editorial office.
I have a sharp eye for spotting errors in text. They seem to jump out at me, and I take pleasure in finding ways to rephrase sentences to make them clearer and grammatically correct.
As a native speaker of both Hebrew and English, I am comfortable reading and writing in both languages, which gives me an advantage in working with a wider range of texts and clients.
Fantasy, Science Fiction, Romance, Juvenile Literature,
Comedy, suspense, LGBT - all together, or each of them separately.
Sometimes Drama is also suitable, or Children's books depending on the book.
Regarding other genres, please feel free to check with me.
For serious and comprehensive literary editing, I invest significant time and energy to thoroughly analyze your book. This includes evaluating the plot, protagonist, goals and obstacles, characters, pacing, plot structure, events, consistency, and overall organization of the manuscript.
With average literary editing, I focus on structuring the text to fit the format of a book, correcting plot structure, inconsistencies, and general errors. While I may suggest changes to characters and plot, my recommendations will not be as extensive as with a comprehensive edit.
For minimal literary editing, I provide a thorough review of your manuscript with comments and suggestions for improvement. You will have the final say on which changes to make.
All editing is done via Zoom and email,
with some WhatsApp and phone calls.

If you have a book/manuscript that you would like a literary editor to review,
please feel free to contact me.
First, we'll have an initial meeting on Zoom, where I will go over your text,
give an initial opinion, point out what can be improved, etc.
At the meeting, I will suggest some possible ways to move forward with your book.
I can also advise on self-publishing through Amazon.
