Book Editing
& Author Services

After nearly a decade of editing for magazines, online publications, universities, and private clients, I have expanded my horizons to become an EFA-certified book editor!

I offer a full suite of editing services—including developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, proofreading, and writing coaching services—all aimed at providing new and experienced authors alike with a professional, enthusiastic, and informative editing experience!

I’m big on words, but if you’d rather cut to the chase…

  • "Sophie’s masterful attention to detail is one of the best aspects of working with her. She delves deep into the words written, handling your story with care and respect while working with you to maintain your vision for your story, making it the best version it can be."

    JENSEN PARKER, CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE AUTHOR

  • "Sophie approaches every manuscript with the confidence and expertise of an editor with a decade of experience. The feedback I received was not only personalized but also thoughtful and intentional. I wouldn't trust anyone else to edit my work!"

    KRISTEN BALES, ROMANTASY AUTHOR

  • "When I wanted to transition from writing romance to fantasy, I knew I needed someone who could take my chaotic thoughts and distill it into some semblance of a story. Within one hour, Sophie not only helped me understand the relationship between my characters and timeline from one book to another, but she also helped me uncover the main crux of the series. Because of Sophie’s wide range of knowledge of plot, pacing, and craft, I knew she’d be the right person to help me with my draft. You won’t regret hiring her!"

    COURTNEY CORLEW, CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE AUTHOR

  • "I really appreciated the style guide that Sophie provided me for my manuscript. [The manuscript] was over 100,000 words, yet she provided a detailed analysis of the characters, plot, and worldbuilding for me to review. It is wonderful to work with someone who is just as passionate about editing my work as I was writing it."

    RYAN CHAN, FANTASY AUTHOR
