Editing

I am currently OPEN to new editing jobs. Here’s the deal though: I’m a great editor and beta-reader, but of the two, I find beta-reading more enjoyable and charge a more reasonable price as a beta reader.

If you know your stuff is good, and you’re only looking for an extra set of eyes or beta-reader, then shoot me a message; otherwise, I instead suggest using Reedsy.com.

EDITING QUALIFICATIONS:
  • I received my first traditional book deal when I was only 22 and that book, Mass Casualties, went on to receive a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly, and praise and acclaim from other publications, veterans, and writers across the country, and was later optioned by SONY.
  • My second book, Civilianized, won the MassBay Book Award, was a notable book for the Massachusetts Book Award, and received positive reviews in Kirkus, School Library Journal, Booklist, BookReporter, and Military.com.
  • My third book, Just Another Meat-Eating Dirtbag, is newly out and still racking up acclaim…check the page for updates.
