Media and Publishing
Life's too short for beige books. I provide editorial support for intrepid authors of romance, cozy mysteries, and children's books, with a penchant for LGBTQ+, fat, and disabled characters. All work is completed by a real human! Your Publishing BFF does not endorse nor work on products generated by plagiaristic artificial intelligence.


Line/copy editing examines word choice, sentence construction, repetition, and cohesion. as well as checks spelling, grammar, punctuation, verb tenses, and adherence to the Chicago Manual of Style, 18th Edition. Special attention is paid to Conscious Language, a term coined by Karen Yin, who started the website Conscious Style Guide. Conscious Language is “language rooted in critical thinking and compassion, used skillfully in a specific context.” Writers are encouraged to consider the language they use, focusing on their intent and how readers may receive the message. Each edited manuscript is returned with a style sheet that includes consistency-oriented information, a note of encouragement, and general observations on the work.

Do you want to write a book and need support to get it done? Through regular meetings with me, you’ll plan your content, write the text, and make your way through the revision process.

Media kits are the modern version of the press kit. Start with a one-hour meeting on Zoom to discuss your goals and create a plan for text and visuals. Then, after you've assembled your kit, receive one round of line/copy edits to help you finalize your product.
