Helping people connect through the written word.

Hi! I’m Lindsey and I’m an editor specializing in fiction. Romance is my main jam (all spice levels accepted), and I also enjoy working on YA and sci-fi/fantasy books.

Since starting my editorial business in 2021, I’ve worked with a variety of clients, including authors seeking traditional publishing and contract work with larger companies, but my favorite is working with indie authors. I love helping my clients follow their passions and achieve their dreams of becoming published authors.

I have a bachelor’s in communication arts from the University of Wisconsin – Madison and hold certifications in line editing, copyediting, and proofreading from Edit Republic. I have also completed fiction editing coursework through the Editorial Freelancers Association. I have over ten years of experience working with the written word professionally, including work in marketing and UX copywriting, and have been editing fiction since early 2021.
