HIRE ME as an editor for your short story or flash piece. I’ll provide close reading, copy editing, and story-level suggestions (developmental editing). Specialties include flash fiction, literary fiction, young adult fiction, and fantastic fiction (magical realism, speculative, and cross-genre), but I am open to other genres, including flash memoir.

I am not taking on long-form editing projects at this time, but will look at flash and short fiction.

I follow the guidelines of the Editorial Freelancers Association.

Editor’s Eye – 50/1000

Want a professional editor’s honest, constructive feedback on your flash fiction? I offer an introductory editorial consult of 1000 words for $50. This includes close critical reading and may include copy editing (as needed), line-by-line editorial suggestions (as needed), and a holistic commentary on your work. You may submit up to 5 standard double-spaced manuscript pages, or approximately 1000 words. This could be one very short story, two flash pieces, or three or more microfiction pieces.

Please send work in Word (.doc or .docx) or Rich Text (.rtf) format. Response time is no more than 5 days–usually less. Contact me to arrange an editorial consult.
