Mandy (she/her) is a skilled developmental, line editor, and book coach who has worked with both traditional and indie bestsellers, taught at multiple writing conferences, and has a soft spot for beginning writers. Her cozy approach comes through in every edit; if you’re looking for an editor who is 100% on your team, Mandy is the editor for you!

In her developmental edits, she has a knack for getting to the heart of a manuscript’s needs, drawing on a well-honed approach to character, story, and world development. Whether it’s surface cracks or deep gorges, she’s itching to help you fill them!

This x-ray story vision, combined with many awards for her own story openings, makes her a perfect fit for polishing your first chapters.

As a line editor, Mandy specializes in perfecting your prose while keeping your unique voice and style intact.

She is open to most genres and categories with a special love for anything YA or Middle Grade and extensive experience in sci-fi/fantasy and contemporary romance.

While nostalgia paints ANNE OF GREEN GABLES as her favorite book, authors like Rae Carson and Maggie Steifvater have stolen her adult reader heart. Recent years brought new favorites to the forefront in Kacen Callender’s FELIX EVER AFTER, Greg Howard’s THE WHISPERS, and Lisa Fipps’ STARFISH.

She can’t wait to add your manuscript to her list of favorites!
