Editing that encourages writers and strengthens epic tales.
About the Editor
Hey, there!
If we haven't met already, I'm Lori Ann, an editor with a passion for settings as unique as the world is big and characters readers can connect with.
I am the Editor-in-Chief of a small publishing press, have earned my first editing certification through ACES (American Copy Editors Society), and continue to pursue any opportunities to continue strengthening my skills. Beyond that, I am also a writer myself (who has been through the editing, submission, and publishing process a few times) and read every chance I get.
What does this mean for you?
This means that you will be working with an editor that understands how important a story is to the author. Each book is not just a collection of locations and characters; it's someone's dreams written out on a screen or paper. It's all the late nights, brainstorming, and hundreds of notes placed into tens of thousands of words. That takes a lot of dedication and determination. And it can be a daunting process.
That is why I offer the editing services listed below. It's important to me to make a story as strong as it can be and that each author gets the best chance of success.
Full-Length Projects
You've finished your novella or novel or will be finishing it soon. Congrats, friend! But what changes need to be made before pursuing the next steps?
Getting developmental edits on full-length projects is a fantastic way to ensure readers will gain a deeper connection to your characters and their world before they pick up your book!
I will send your project back with suggested edits broken down by each category in an editing letter along with notes within your project's document. Your edits also include three follow-up emails for any questions you may have!
Pricing: $0.007 per word (contact for exact quote)*
Now booking edits for May 2025 onwards.
Short Stories
Have a smaller story you'd like to share with the world? Developmental editing is perfect for sharpening any worldbuilding or plot points before sending it out!
After receiving your short story, I will go over each developmental category and send it back with edits in an editing letter for you to review. You are free to send follow-up emails with questions afterward.
Pricing: $50-100 (contact for exact quote)
Now booking edits for April 2025 onwards.






Free Sample Edit
Not sure if I'm the right editor for your project? No problem! That is why I offer a free sample edit (per industry standard).
For those who would like to see my edits beforehand, I offer:
A one-page sample edit for short stories.
A three-page edit for full-length projects.
With either option, you will receive an edit letter breaking the edits down into each developmental category.
As stated above, this sample edit is free. If you decide to move forward with booking a full edit, then we can discuss availability. If you decide that I am not the editor for your project, then no problem. You get to keep your edits with no strings attached!
