Ashley S. – Editor

I am a dedicated editor who enjoys helping fantasy, mystery, science fiction, and historical fiction writers polish their books to a shine.

Overview

With ten years of experience in the publishing industry, I pride myself on providing top-notch editorial and proofreading services to authors who write books in a variety of genres. My specialty genres are fantasy, mystery, science fiction, and historical fiction, and I have edited projects of every length, from short stories to full-length novels. I have a quick turnaround time, and I am always ready and willing to help authors meet tight deadlines.


I like to engage in a collaborative editing process with my clients. I prefer to know what an author's goals are for each project, so that I can focus on the most important aspects of a project and ensure the best possible result. I encourage my clients to ask follow-up questions and seek clarification or additional guidance, so that I can help my clients achieve their ultimate writing goals.
