Whatever publishing route you choose, your manuscript is made better with a skilled and professionally trained editor. I’ve worked on dozens of books with a variety of authors. Some self-publish while others seek out agents or traditional publishers.
All of them had one thing in common: They wanted the manuscript to be the best it could be.
To learn more about my approach as an editor, here’s an interview with Peg Cheng, author of The Contenders, a middle grade novel.
I have worked in a variety of genres as well as nonfiction, including:
- Literary fiction
- Historical fiction
- Women’s fiction
- Contemporary fiction
- Romance
- Mystery
- Young Adult
- Middle Grade
- LGBTQ
- Dystopian
- Memoir
- Personal history
- Narrative history
- Legal
- Business
- Training guides
- Positive psychology (self-help)
- Interviews
- Articles

Feedback from clients
“I can’t thank Julie enough for her talent, professionalism, patience, and kindness!”
Rachel Pearson, author of Start It Up!
“Julie is a real pro and very nice to work with. I recommend her without reservation.”
Diann Shope, author of Living Arrangements and Stories from the Field
“I am a former technical editor, and I found Julie’s work to be exceptional. I hired her to fix minor formatting errors in my print-on-demand novel. She found all kinds of formatting errors and was careful at all times to negotiate hours and prices that fit my budget. And she’s a very pleasant and friendly person! I highly recommend her and hope to have her edit my next book.”
