Thorns N' Roses | Editing Services

Editing

I'm an editor that loves supporting authors as they craft their story. It's never my job to tell you what to do; instead, my job is to remind you of the impact your words can have on others.

I have experience editing romance, romcoms, fantasy, dark fantasy, romantasy, western, sci-fi, and non-fiction. I'm open to working on projects in all genres!

I do not edit dark erotica, non-fiction, religious-centric books, or anything with romanticized non-consent. Feel free to reach out if you're wondering if your content aligns with my editing boundaries.

At this time, I am booked for most of 2026.
