Hello, I’m Heather
I help writers understand what their manuscript needs, strengthen their work, and move forward with confidence.
I work with authors at different stages of the editing process, from early drafts that need direction to near-final manuscripts preparing for submission or publication.
Originally from Detroit and now based in Dorset, I work across UK and US conventions.
I also edit narrative and written content for video and board games, using my background in game design to strengthen story systems and player experience.

I primarily work with writers in the following genres and offer the following editorial services:
I’m always open to adjacent genres, particularly where there’s overlap in tone, structure, or audience.

That’s completely normal. Choosing the wrong type of editing can slow your progress or cost you more than it should.
Tell me about your manuscript through the form, or book a call if you’d prefer to talk it through.
