I'm a freelance editor offering developmental, stylistic (line), and copy editing for self-publishing fiction authors and those who plan to pursue traditional publishing.
My specialties:
- Picture books (including rhyming books)
- Middle grade novels
- Young adult (YA) novels
- Commercial & upmarket fiction
- Mystery & detective novels
- Historical fiction
Hiring an editor is an important investment in your book, but some people can find the decision daunting at first. That's why I offer free sample edits, giving you the chance to evaluate whether we're the right fit before you commit to booking.

"Laura handled my book with astounding insight and remarkable skill. Each editorial suggestion carried a weight of knowledge and research, but Laura was careful to always respect my own voice and vision."

For businesses and nonprofits, I offer editing, proofreading, and content writing services. I have experience writing and editing annual reports, web stories, media releases, letters and e-blasts, grant applications, and more.
I also have training in plain language to help your audience understand—and, most importantly, act on—the information they need.
