Standards & style
How I Work
The Chicago Manual of Style
I edit to CMOS — the industry standard for US book publishing — so your manuscript meets the conventions American readers, agents and publishers expect.
Romance & Romantasy Conventions
Deep familiarity with genre expectations — beat structure, subgenre tropes, heat levels and satisfying HEA/HFN endings — across romance, romantasy and dark romance.
Consistency Tools
I build a tailored style sheet for every project and use professional consistency checks, so spellings, formatting and character details stay clean from first page to last.
