Scheduling for spring/summer of 2026
Everything on the page will be new to your readers.
They may spot the typos your familiar gaze skips or miss a crucial point that was swept away during revisions. They might puzzle over conflicting information or stumble at a shift in tone.
Issues can easily occur, but they risk breaking the connection between a text and its audience.
As an editor, I’ll dive deep into the details of your project (while keeping an eye on the big picture).
I’ll recognize what needs to be corrected, double-checked, or questioned, so your attention can stay focused where it belongs: on the art and craft of your writing.
As your editor, I’m also your ally, a reader who is trained, thorough, and dedicated to your project.
Hello! I’m Heather, a fiction and business editor (and detail devotee) with a Certificate in Copyediting from UC San Diego, an MEd, a BA in Lit, and editing experience since 2017.

Once a lit major, always a lit major: There's a warm reading nook in my heart just waiting for my next deep dive into fiction. Some of my favorite genres to edit are literary, romance, mystery, historical, fantasy, speculative, and YA/NA. I've had the pleasure of working with new, established, and award-winning authors, writing in a variety of genres and styles.
I also love supporting small businesses, and I'm dedicated to ensuring their messaging is clear and effective. I’m available to edit web content, including blogs, and marketing or other materials.

“Heather, all I can say is, ‘Wow!’ I consider myself blessed to have had such a knowledgeable and creative editor. You have taken my manuscript to the next level. I can’t thank you enough.
Hard to believe it had a going over by an exceptional and multi-published author, as well as some other very smart people, and we still missed all that you found. Talk about a wakeup call!”
