Story Galley offers professional developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading services to help authors transform their fiction and nonfiction manuscripts into polished, publication-ready works.

With over 20 years of editing experience across industries including technology and publishing, I have collaborated with writers in a wide range of genres. My work includes novels, true crime, biographies, business books, technical guides, and how‑to manuals.

In developmental editing, I address big-picture elements such as structure, pacing, plot holes, character arcs, and overall narrative flow. Through copyediting and proofreading, I focus on grammar, consistency, timeline accuracy, and character continuity, eliminating distractions that pull readers out of the story.

Collaboration is central to my process. Whether we’re reshaping the foundation of your story or refining the final polish, I provide clear feedback, thoughtful explanations, and supportive guidance at every step.

If you are looking for a detail-oriented editor who respects your voice and understands both storytelling and structure, as well as the mechanics of professional prose, you are in the right place. Here I offer precise developmental editing to strengthen your manuscript’s core, together with line-level copyediting and proofreading to keep it clean, engaging, and true to your vision.
