Free Editing

As many of you know, I’m a part-time editor of non-fiction and writer of all things fiction, but I would love to get more experience editing creative fiction. I don’t consider myself experienced enough to charge for this, and I also understand paying for editing or feedback can be a huge barrier for improving a manuscript! For these reasons I’m offering my services for the low, low cost of absolutely free :-)

My credentials:
- I’ve been a creative writer for over a decade and have written countless novels, short stories, and other forms of fiction.
- I have been published several times in magazines, newspapers, and literary journals.
- I am an editor for a newspaper and have been an editorial intern at a magazine, an editor for a literary journal and also a marketing intern at a publishing house.
- I have a diploma in filmmaking and a degree in Communications studies.

Here’s what I can do:
- Give feedback on the first 30-ish pages of a novel, short story, or other work (including fan fiction!)
- Edit/copy edit up to 30 pages.
- Look over and give feedback on outlines, character building, world building (or all three).
- Edit and provide feedback on academic/school work or essay planning (though I can’t write any of it for you)
- Offer peptalks and encouragement!

What I can’t do:
- Smut or otherwise explicit/spicy romances, sorry.
- Poetry (I’m useless with it, I don’t think I’d be very helpful in this area)
- Writing without any content/trigger warnings (I am able to provide help here, you just need to add the warnings first)
- AI-generated work
- Write the work for you

Interested?
Sign up on this waitlist with the best way to contact you. I get a lot of requests and am also juggling two jobs, so unfortunately I'm not sure how long the wait will be! If you have some sort of deadline (like for a school assignment) or you have sent a tip through my PayPal, send me a DM on my tumblr and I will prioritize your submission!
Thanks!
