Editing Services
As an author, I know the importance of having a trustworthy editor to help you bring your manuscript one step closer to publication. I am here to help you take that next step! Together, we can prepare your manuscript for self-publishing or agent querying.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in English & Creative Writing and am the best-selling author of the completed YA Fantasy Romance Series, Kingdoms of Faerie. I am also a co-founder of thewritercommunity.com, which offers many free writing resources to help you tell your story and connect with other writers.
As an avid reader, I love all books and cannot wait to read yours! I enjoy all sub-genres of Fantasy / Sci-Fi / Paranormal. My favorite genre is Fantasy or Paranormal Romance, but I also read Contemporary, Romance, and more! I will edit any age-range (Young Adult, New Adult, or Adult).
I do not edit children's books, horror, thrillers, high fantasy or high sci-fi.

Testimonials
"Skye is an absolute dream to work with. I did not expect the depth of review she gave to my manuscript, with page by page notes sharing her wealth of editing knowledge for the developmental edit. The skype calls after were an amazing touch, as I have only received 'reports' from other editors and found it really helpful to actually talk to the human being on the other end of the edit. I wholeheartedly recommend trusting her with your manuscript." - Angelika Rose, Author of The Ties that Bind series
"Skye, words cannot express how happy I am to have found you. You are such a beautiful human with the purest of hearts, and I seriously cannot thank you enough. As a new author, it can be scary as heck handing your words over to someone, but with you, you created this environment where I felt safe, comfortable, and excited throughout the entire process. Your warmth, positive attitude, and inspiring work ethic was nothing short of remarkable and I am sincerely grateful I can call you a friend. Thank you for believing in my little book baby, you are truly one of the BEST and Cannot wait to work with you again in the future!"
Much love,
Patricia Brioux
