Editing and authenticity reading services for fiction authors and video game creators
Editing with joy, not judgment
Whether you’re publishing your first book or your fifteenth, you’ll find a variety of editorial packages and services that will help you do so confidently—all while receiving clear, supportive feedback along the way.
Services designed with fiction authors in mind
“I’ve worked with other editors, but Crystal has proven herself to be among the best! Not only did she catch all those annoying grammatical errors, but she found inconsistencies in descriptions and details from the story that other early readers had missed. Her work is professional, quick, and incredibly thorough. I highly recommend her!”
D.K. Holmberg, fantasy author
Editing for video games
When the text in a video game reads smoothly and naturally, players can simply focus on enjoying the game. That’s why I offer video game editing as a service.
(And yes, that’s the back of my business card—because reasons.)
“Crystal is like a copy editor, continuity checker, sensitivity reader, and cheerleader all rolled into one. She was kind, clear, and thorough during every step of the process. As a developmental editor myself, it was so wonderful to know the manuscript was in the hands of someone I could trust to give their full effort and attention. Crystal is definitely my go-to editor now, and I look forward to working with her more in the future!”
Diane Callahan, Quotidian Writer

You can also learn more about the Conscious Language Toolkits for Editors and Writers and my self-paced course for editors called “Editing for Conscious and Inclusive Language.”
“Crystal went above and beyond to transform my project into the best version of itself. She is a knowledgeable editor with a great eye for inconsistencies. Her suggestions rang true to the voice of the story. And the style sheet she produced was an invaluable resource for me. Five stars!”
Nicholas Ponticello, fiction author
