can't-put-'em-down-worthy

You’ve spent countless hours putting your imagination and creative prowess to work, mapping out your storyline, creating multidimensional characters, and pacing out those jaw-dropping twists. Now there’s one thing left to do before putting your novel out into the world:

MAKING SURE ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS COME TOGETHER so FLAWLESSLY THAT NOTHING TAKES AWAY FROM YOUR CRAFT—OR YOUR READERS' EXPERIENCE.

here's how i can help

welcome to
my nook

I'm Samantha—

and, in your story, consider me the supporting role.

From here on out, I’ll be the deuteragonist to your protagonist, ready to come along for the ride of making your novel perfect enough for print.

When we work together to get your book publication-ready, my #1 goal is to help you feel at ease from beginning to end.

With a commitment to your comfort—and a positive, streamlined copyediting process to match—we’ll fine-tune a fiction story so good your readers will be begging for a sequel before they even finish the first half.

A good
story

read
a good
without clarity
and consistency.

Here’s how I’ll help you ensure your novel lands at the top of everyone’s TBR list:

Copyediting

A full-on deep dive into your work to uncover any grammatical or spelling errors, syntax issues, and inaccuracies with the language use (along with a lengthy list of other elements). I revise each of them carefully for a polished read that’ll have your readers giving five-star ratings.

Proofreading

This is your chance to get a second set of (professionally trained) eyes on your work to seek out any errors that may have fallen through the cracks. It’s where I check that all your i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed. Literally. 

Research Assistance

You do the writing, and I’ll do the research—so you can spend more time letting the words flow and less time googling whether there’s actually a Princess Drive in Pasadena—or whatever other facts your storyline calls for!

"Samantha is one of those gifted individuals who can hold both macro- and
microperspectives simultaneously. . .

. . .while at the same time being able to consider additional possibilities.  She has a well-founded worldview based on wide reading and no doubt owing in some measure to her natural curiosity."

—Thomas Claire

After all the time, effort, and love you’ve invested into this story,

it deserves to be edited, proofread, and fact-checked by someone who’s willing to put in as much energy as you did. 

If you want the foundation of your book to be as good as the story itself, you’ll need a copy editor whose passion for detail matches your passion for publishing the next cult-favourite.
