Hi, I’m the book medic.

Here’s where I tell you a bit about myself. The truth is, talking about myself is my least favorite thing to do, so let’s make this quick and painless.

I’ve been an editor full-time since January 2016 when I began my first company, Crystallized Editing, LLC.

Since then, I have had the honor of editing thousands of manuscripts for hundreds of authors, both signed and indie.

Urban fiction and romance have my heart but I have also edited paranormal, YA, fantasy, Christian, women’s fiction, thrillers, nonfiction and academic papers.

I’m from Miami (not to be confused with Florida), born and raised.

I’m a Capricorn… so you know I’m the GOAT.

My Approach

Finding the right editor for you can be a lot like dating, which can take some trial and error. No two editors will be exactly alike, and if you want to have success in your career as an author, you want to ensure you have a great working relationship with your editor.

maintain your voice

Embracing the essence of every author's voice is paramount in my editorial approach. As an editor, my goal isn't to hijack or alter the spirit of your work but to elevate it. I firmly believe in preserving the authenticity of your voice while enhancing the clarity, flow, and impact of your message. Collaboration is key; I work hand in hand with authors to refine their writing, ensuring that the final piece resonates authentically with their unique style and vision.

the editor, the teacher

Beyond merely editing text, I see myself as a dedicated teacher in the realm of writing. My commitment extends beyond making changes; it involves empowering authors by sharing insights and explanations behind the edits. I strive to cultivate an environment where authors not only receive polished manuscripts but also garner valuable knowledge. My aim is not just to refine a piece but to impart skills that help authors evolve and flourish in their writing journey, equipping them with tools and understanding that extend far beyond a single project.
