HI, I’m Lisa, your friendly neighborhood professional copy editor and proofreader, specializing in contemporary romance and cozy mystery.
Romance and mystery are my go-to genres—they pretty much dominate my reading list. I’ve been a book lover since forever, and my love affair with words kicked in when I was just a kid.
Oh, and guess what? I’m not just the editing guru; I’m also weaving my own cozy mystery series that’s in the works, all set to be self-published. Exciting stuff, right?
Throughout my adult life, everyone from friends to family, coworkers, and bosses have hit me up to give their writing the once-over. Spotting errors has always been my thing, and helping out was a blast because I love doing it.
Funny story—around seven years back, as I dived into the indie publishing scene and started cooking up my own stories, I noticed something. Turns out, most of my author pals didn’t find editing half as fun as I did. Some didn’t like it at all. So, I had a lightbulb moment and decided to start my own proofreading and editing gig, dedicated to helping fellow wordsmiths.
Once the decision was made, I began reading and taking classes, soaking up all the knowledge I could get. My mission? Sharpen those editing skills, get cozy with the industry ins and outs, and make sure I was top-notch before diving into the professional scene.
Now, I’m fired up about the romance and cozy mystery genres, especially the indie side of things, and I’d love to sprinkle some editing magic on your book to make it the absolute best. If you’re thinking we’d make a great team, don’t be shy—reach out! I’m here to tackle your questions and dive deep into your book dreams with you. Cheers to making your story shine!
