Meet the Editor!
I am obsessed with stories because a great story has the power to change lives. As nerdy as it might sound, I thrive on figuring out what makes certain novels impossible to put down and what gets in the way of that.
As a developmental editor, I specialize in the big picture: plot structure, character arcs, pacing, and everything that shapes how a story lands.
I'd love to learn more about yours.
Editing for
Science Fiction &
Fantasy Novels
Editing for Science Fiction & Fantasy Novels
Fantasy and science fiction aren't like other genres. The world-building, magic systems, and speculative elements create craft challenges you won't find in a general writing guide. I specialize in these genres because I love them and because they require a different editorial eye.
Big-picture story & scene-level editorial assessments
You'll receive an editorial letter and inline comments that dig into your plot structure, character arcs, world-building, and pacing. I'll look at what's working, what needs attention, and exactly how to get there.
“Leah is a powerhouse developmental editor, and I couldn’t be more pleased to have her on my team. She has changed my perspective on storytelling, but with practical advice rather than classic pithy phrases (looking at you, “show don’t tell”). Her organization, business acumen, and process have been great even for a pantser like me. She edited my first book, is in progress on my second, and I’ll keep using her for anything I write!”
