Helping authors create seamless escapes from reality

by copyediting, proofreading, and beta reading science fiction, fantasy, and paranormal romance.

I NOW HAVE A BLOG, THE COSMIC EDITOR, WHERE I POST FREE WRITING TIPS AND DISCUSSIONS FOR SFF/PNR AUTHORS.

YOU CAN REACH ME THERE FOR EDITING SERVICES.

THIS WEBSITE IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED.

You've finally managed to get your story out of your head and all written out. Problem #1: You are a storyteller, not a grammar nerd. Problem #2: It's nearly impossible for you to read your story objectively (and you've read and re-read it so many times), so you're gonna miss some issues.

That's okay. I've got you covered. With multiple certificate editing courses under my belt and decades of practical experience, I can help with your technical writing issues. I've also been reading SFF/PNR for 40+ years, so I can talk about generation ships, orc v. elf v. dwarf, sex scenes, shifters and the applicable laws of physics, hard v. soft magic systems, and so on, ... and on and on and on.

I'm strictly an editor. I am so much not a writer that you will never need to worry that I'll be re-writing your story in my own words. My focus is on making your story, as told by you in your own words, a little cleaner, a little tighter, a little smoother, so your readers can just dive in and enjoy. 

Am I the right editor for you? See for yourself. Check out my blog, The Cosmic Editor, for more information.
