Your creative work deserves more than a half-hearted polish. Whether you need deep editing, beta reading, zine publishing, web development, or content writing, I offer tailored services that help you elevate your projects. Let’s turn your vision into something exceptional.

🖋️ Editing Services

You need an editor who tells you when your pacing drags, your villain’s motives don’t add up, or your prose needs sharpening. I use a deep editing method that focuses on content, structure, style, and presentation—ensuring your horror, dark romance, or gothic fiction is unputdownable.

🔹 Not sure what type of editing you need? The Editorial Freelancers Association outlines industry standards to help authors understand the editing process.

📌 Investment: Starting at $0.015 per word

📖 Beta Reading

You’ve written your book. Now, does it actually work? I provide honest, in-depth feedback on pacing, characters, emotional impact, and story engagement—so you know what resonates and what needs refining.

🔹 Want to understand the role of a beta reader before hiring one? Reedsy’s guide breaks it down beautifully.

📌 Investment: Starting at $75 per manuscript

Bringing a DIY zine to life can be overwhelming—but I’ve got you covered. From formatting to layout to print-ready designs, I make sure your zine looks as great as it reads.
