Hi, I’m Marie
I’m a developmental editor who works with fiction books. My goal is to help you shape your story into their best form and to make sure your voice, your vision, and your message truly reaches the reader.
And more than that? I care. A lot.
About your characters and their emotional arcs. About the flow of your story, the pacing. And about how you feel throughout the whole process.
The most important facts about me
As a Film School graduate (Major in Screenwriting), I’m trained to craft stories that are both structurally solid and emotionally moving.
I’m a member of Editorial Freelance Association.
My authors receive unlimited post-project support. Questions six months later? A quick sanity check? I’m here. Even after your manuscript is complete, my inbox remains open for your questions and wins.
I offer free samples for Developmental Edit and Editorial Assessment services, so you can feel confident we’re a right fit.
I have 5+ years of experience of working with texts.
I specialize in Historical Fiction, Fantasy, and Romance.
