Professional Editing Services for All Authors

With a background in copywriting and proofreading, Rebecca fell in love with editing after publishing her own books. She has a special place in her heart for working with indie authors. After connecting with an amazing group of authors and editors online, and realized that there  was a need for editors that understood what being an indie author is all about -- freedom, creativity, and sharing our stories with the world! With experience in contemproary romance, high fantasy, and coming-of-age YA, Rebecca loves to help authors refine their storylines, enhance their characters, and tell their stories in their own voice.
