What I Do
I offer line editing and developmental editing services for fiction manuscripts at an affordable price point. Whether you're self-publishing or preparing to query literary agents, I will help you tighten and tidy your novel so that it's as clean as it can be -- without breaking the bank. I prioritise kind critique and am dedicated to maintaining authorial voice. It's your book, I'm just here to make sure the final product is as close to your original vision as possible.
Polish Your Prose
I'll work through your novel to make sure that each line conveys exactly what you want it to convey. Clunky phrasing? Not sure about a simile? Wondering if your dialogue is natural? That's my bread and butter! I'll let you know what line-level improvements you can make so that your story flows naturally.
Perfect Your Plot
The difference between a collection of scenes and a story lies in the structural elements. Character arcs, plot lines, pacing, voice. I'll see what's working, and what might need a little shift to make your story a page-turner that comes alive in the reader's mind. And if I find a plot hole or two along the way, I'll point those out, too!

Testimonials
It is no exaggeration to say that my book would have fallen apart without Léa. Her editing is excellent -- that goes without saying. But her enthusiasm, kindness, and honest belief in my story's potential is what kept my story propped up until she could help me find its feet.

- Eric B, Fantasy Writer
Léa's editing was incredibly thorough, clear, and wonderfully insightful. Her thoughtful critique and encouragement not only helped me with line editing, the restructuring of my novel reignited my enthusiasm and gave me the confidence to push it toward a publishable standard. Thank you so much, Léa! You're amazing!
