Where Passion Meets Punctuation

“is there anything better than iced coffee and a bookstore on a sunny day? I mean, aside from hot coffee and a bookstore on a rainy day.”

About me

Hello fellow book babes, my name is April and my goal in life is to help romance authors turn their meet-cutes into must-reads. When I’m not reading, editing, or writing, you’ll find me up in the air working my other job as a flight attendant. I’m a taurus, so I am the most stubborn and cozy person you’ll ever meet. I only like to leave the house to leave the country.

I like my coffee iced and my art human made, and my guilty pleasure is watching Reality TV like Real Houswives, Below Deck, or Traitors.

Experience

I have a bachelor’s degree in English Linguistics from Old Dominion University.

I’ve taken editing courses through EFA, Club Ed, and ACES.

Client Testimonials

My Promise to You

As your editor I’m here to help you get one step closer to publishing your book and to support you along the way in making your author dreams come true. During the editing process I’ll offer suggestions and changes based off my experience, Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS), Merriam-Webster, and genre conventions. With that in mind, please don’t take any constructive criticism or feedback personally. My advice, whether you work with me or any other editor, is to take some time after reviewing the edits and let any emotional responses you have settle. I find a lot of authors are nervous to get feedback at first, but then they end up loving it.

Remember, at the end of the day, it’s your book, and you’re putting your name on it. I want it to be something you’re proud of and feel comfortable putting out into the world. All my edits are suggestions you can feel free to skip if that’s what you feel is best.
