Let’s piece together your finished product…
Hi writers! Whether you have a notebook full of ideas or a full manuscript, I’m here to help! I offer editing for all sorts of projects, including yours. Let’s figure out the type and timeline that work best for us.
I make sure your story says what you want it to say.
My specialty is developmental editing: providing feedback on plot development, character-building, and structure. This involves collaboration between editor and writer through written summaries, joint comments, and face-to-face discussion.
About the editor
Maddi Smith
While earning my Bachelors’ Degrees in English and journalism, I edited with hundreds of writers as a University Writing Coach at Northern Illinois University. This ranged from fiction passion projects to academic assignments, from brainstorming to proof-reading to rewriting!
I discovered that I love the maze of writing and the puzzle of piecing together exactly what a writer is saying (and what they want to say). I love the collaboration of sitting down with someone, finding their vision, and making our way to that perfect finished product.
