I've been editing full-time since 2021. (Taking the leap and quitting my 9-to-5 was the best decision I ever made!)

I have a Certificate in Editing from the American Copy Editors Society, and I'm proud to maintain a 100% Job Success Score on Upwork. I've worked with authors on a whole host of genres, from self-published WLW ro-mystery fiction and publishing-house nonfiction to self-help guides and goal-oriented calendar-planners.

I know how much trust it takes to hand your writing to someone else, and I don’t take that lightly. Communication is a big deal to me, so I take the time to understand your story, vision, and goals and make sure we’re on the same page.

I believe a great editor is part cheerleader, part guide, part grammar nut. I’m here to encourage you, ask questions to help strengthen your writing (when you want that!), and help you cross the finish line with confidence—and a word-perfect manuscript.

LOVED working with Sarah. Amazing, easy-going energy, yet absolutely on point, on time, and precise with her superpower proofreading.

Excellent and friendly communication, speedy smooth work, easy-going to work with, accurate and awesome. Recommending Sarah to all my other book author clients who need a proofreader!

Hi! I’m Sarah—a detail-obsessed editor who’s ready to dive into your story and help your words shine. I LOVE to read and geek out about characters, story arcs, and grammar, so this truly is my dream job! I offer copy editing and proofreading services for fiction and nonfiction.

One of my favorite things about editing for indie authors is reading and editing all kinds of stories, though I have a special soft spot for romance, mystery, and nonfiction/self-help.

When I’m not editing, you’ll probably find me reading (obviously!), walking my dog Patti (pictured right), keeping up with NBA basketball (Go Nuggets!), or experimenting with just how many ways I can combine pasta and cheese before it stops being incredible. (It hasn’t so far.)
