I am a professional editor with fifteen years of experience developmental editing published and self-published fiction and creative nonfiction. I am experienced in editing a wide range of genres, including memoir, fantasy, speculative fiction, science fiction, and romance. A philosopher by training, I am a thoughtful editor, focusing on issues of plausibility, interest, consistency, and structure.
Clients have written:
"Sara identified what was critical in the manuscript and had excellent suggestions for revision. I have incorporated all of her suggestions, and the result will be a much stronger book that appears next year."
"Sara's help was very useful, especially her suggestions for clarifying the narrative and my sentence structures."
"I needed help structuring my first novel -- a wild project. Sara gave me detailed, multi-level feedback that really helped. Professional, timely, and personable. I received thoughtful feedback for much less in cost."
"Sara took a thoughtful approach both to my manuscript and to my needs as a client. She offered quick fixes for minor grammatical errors and suggestions for how the overall structure could be improved. And she managed to do it without bruising my pitiful writer ego."
