Dear Author (and Publisher),

This is an editing site, offering services to authors and publishers, and a blog.

I haven't committed to a blog schedule and am usually at a loss of what to write, so please send me your questions.

I have a resume and references, and encourage you to read both. (Contact the authors, too. They won't mind.)

I edit romance and romantic fiction. This includes Young Adult and New Adult novels, as long as the driving force is the characters' love story. Romance is my niche, and I am quite happy here.

If you'd like to work with me, great. If not, I understand. The most important thing about finding an editor is finding one who fits you and has the same vision for your novel.

That said, I am not editing intensely erotic (menage, heavy BDSM, sub/dom) novels at this time. I rarely read this genre and erotic authors are better served with an editor who does. (Email me if you're unsure of what qualifies.)

Payments are received via credit card and Paypal, and a non-refundable deposit of $50 is required, but will be applied toward your Sample Edit. After the Sample Edit, 50% is due up front.

I'm also kind and understand writing deadlines. So give me your approximate date and we'll work something out.

Until Then,

Kristin Anders
