Midnight Manuscript
What I edit
Genres I work with.
Stories with shadows in them — where the uncanny sits close to the everyday.
Gothic horror
Crumbling houses, inherited sins, and dread that builds in the walls.
Dark fantasy
Worlds with teeth, where magic always costs something.
Paranormal
Ghosts, hauntings, and things that shouldn’t be there.
Magical realism
The impossible, told as plainly as the weather.
Contemporary & low fantasy
Quiet magic tucked into ordinary lives.

iii. About
An editor by day, a writer by night
I’m drawn to stories that linger — the ones that slip beneath your skin and follow you into your dreams.
As an editor, I help you uncover the beating heart of your manuscript, strengthen its bones, and give its most haunting moments room to breathe. I offer full-service edits with a meticulous eye for detail, helping you sharpen your prose, untangle your plot, and deepen the emotional pull of your story while preserving the voice that makes it yours.
We'll work well together if…
- You want thoughtful, honest feedback on what shines and what still needs tending.
- You’re ready to dig beneath the surface of your plot and prose.
- You’re willing to do the work alongside me. The story is yours; we’ll ask its difficult questions together.
We may not be the right fit if…
- You’re looking for praise without constructive criticism. I’ll celebrate your strengths, but I won’t leave the cracks hidden beneath the wallpaper.
- You want someone to rewrite your manuscript for you. I’m here to guide your revisions, not take the pen from your hand.
- Your manuscript is AI-generated. I work with human-written stories, in all their strange, imperfect glory.
