About the Service

As a fiction writer, you're looking for the right storytelling guidance, collaboration, and insightful edits, and I can help.

I know what writers need to improve and to engage readers by drawing on over 20 years' experience as a published author, story mentor and editor, and translator of fiction (German to English). 

Happy clients include writers, major publishers, literary agents, and film companies for projects ranging from first-time drafts to bestsellers. My specialties are historical, espionage, and psychological/crime thrillers, but I offer expertise for all types of stories, including creative nonfiction. 

Services include:

  • Story mentoring
  • Editorial assessment (manuscript critique)
  • Developmental editing
  • Line editing
  • Copyediting

I'll start by asking a few questions about your goals. Then we'll focus on making your story as compelling as possible. You'll get a clear and helpful roadmap for your revisions, along with practical suggestions and expert advice.

Not sure what you need? Get in touch and ask me anything — I look forward to hearing from you.
