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!

Note: I prefer to provide a sample edit for the author, and I require a content notice list.

Megan's Golden Rules of Editing

  1. Edit others as you would want to be edited.

  2. Point out a problem, but don't try to fix it.

  3. Keep the author's voice intact.

  4. Trust that the author knows what their readers want.

  5. Look for consistency in characters, story, world building and arcs.

  6. Always remind the author that their voice has a place in the literary world.

Reviews

"Megan is fantastic to work with on action scenes. Not only does she have a vast knowledge on weapons and combat, she knows how to brainstorm with you about your character's motivations, fighting proficiency, and background. She can help you craft something that will leap off the page and have your readers in a choke hold. She's professional, dedicated to your vision, and there's the added bonus that her weaponry puns are as sharp as the knives she (fictionally) wields."

- Britt Hansen (author)
