From manuscript to masterpiece.

Let’s begin.

goals and objectives

Hey there, aspiring author! Every story has a pulse, and my job is to help you find it.

Why hire a professional editor?

Because you've poured your heart into this story. You've wrestled with every word, dreamed about these characters, and built this world from nothing. But even the most gifted writers can't see their own blind spots. That gap between the masterpiece in your mind and the words on the page? That's where a professional editor becomes invaluable. Whether you're crafting your first manuscript or your fifth, having an experienced partner in your corner can transform your writing journey from daunting to inspiring.

Why choose me?

With expertise in contemporary and literary fiction, mystery, romance, coming-of-age stories, nonfiction, and memoir, I have a track record of turning good stories into unforgettable ones. I don't just point out what's not working; I recognize what is, and I show you how to amplify it. Through detailed feedback and real collaboration, I'll help you unlock your story's full potential. Your manuscript isn't just another project to me—it's a world waiting to captivate readers.

I’m not here to simply correct grammar or suggest word changes. I’m here to help you.

The next level in your writing journey begins here!

Whether you’re crafting fiction that transports readers to new realms, nonfiction that illuminates complex ideas, or scripts that captivate audiences, I’ll help you dig deep into your story’s heart.

Together, we’ll uncover the magic that’s already there, and we’ll bring your vision to life—not through editorial tricks but through understanding what makes your unique voice sing.

“Lisa has this rare gift of being both incredibly honest and deeply encouraging. Her editorial letter was pure gold—detailed enough to give me clear direction but not overwhelming. Her suggestions helped make my story believable.

If you're serious about taking your writing to the next level, work with Lisa."

—Katherine M.

“A great novel, rather than discouraging me, simply makes me want to write.”
