Overview
My mission is to help writers bring clarity to their manuscripts and make their work shine through detailed, insightful, and encouraging editing, while keeping true to their unique voices and remembering the reader on the other end. I'd love to help you get one step closer to publication!
As a traditionally published author, I know what it’s like to be an unsure new writer, as well as an experienced writer trying to up my game with each new book. Thanks to that experience, I can relate to my authors from the point of view of having "been there, done that." Additionally, I’ve worked with New York Times and USA Today Bestselling authors, as well as debut authors, both traditionally and self-published.
Here's what you’ll get from me:
* Honest but gentle feedback in my edits or evaluations. I love to point out the passages I enjoy as much as I do those that might need more work. Every reader needs encouragement! But I won’t BS you with fake praise either.
* Respectful treatment of your work. I’m thorough, and I ask questions where clarity is needed, rather than just assuming. It is your work, your words!
Whatever your needs are, don’t hesitate to ask. And, if you’re not exactly sure what your needs are, let’s talk about it! I can help you determine what your next step might be and how to best go about it. Hiring an editor is a big investment in your writing career, and I’ll do whatever I can to ensure it’s the best investment you ever make!

I really enjoyed the experience of working with Shannon on my novel. It was clear that she put a lot of thought into each of her comments . She was such a joy to work with! - Kevin Donner, author of Poopy Fingers
