What I Edit
I'm an eclectic reader and will consider almost any genre. If you're unsure whether your manuscript is a good fit, just ask!
The only content I do not edit is erotica and material that is sacrilegious in nature.
Hi! I'm Angela — a freelance editor with a BA in Professional Writing and two years of experience as a Content Coordinator at the Aiken Standard. I'm also a published author writing in multiple genres and an American Fiction Awards finalist, so I know firsthand how much the right editor can make or break a manuscript.
Because I have a deep love for stories and the craft behind them, I commit to researching and growing my craft every day. I believe every manuscript holds something genuinely worth sharing, and my job is to help you bring that out.
I work with fiction and non-fiction authors at all stages, from debut writers to seasoned self-publishers. What matters most to me is that your book sounds like you — just the best version of you.
Not sure if we're a good fit? I offer a free 1,000-word sample edit so you can see my style before you commit to anything.

KIND WORDS
What authors are saying.
Real feedback from real writers.
Angela is always great at finding those
last minute missing words or spaces that
every MS has even after several rounds of
editing. She has a great eye for details, and
I highly recommend her.

— J.P. Sterling, [Romantic Comedy]
I give Angela five stars +! If it weren't for her, my books would have been a mess. She took my books and made them shine. These were books that I had already had edited by others. I can't thank her enough for all she has done for me. She is kind, has great customer service, and is worth every penny! I highly recommend her!
