Edit with Renae
Make Your Story Stronger. Edit with Renae.
Honest, encouraging, and thoughtful feedback about your story’s clarity, plot development, and character arcs.
Why choose to Edit with Renae?
Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can make all the difference. You planted the trees, let me help you see the forest. With a developmental edit I spot the strengths of your story while identifying the areas that can be polished a little more. I have a lifelong appreciation of storytelling that represents and reflects multiple experiences and identities. So much so that my B.A. is in Anthropology!
My experience in the literary industry as an agent and editor of novels and comic books as well as my work as a English and History teacher inform my feedback. I have a M.Ed.
My feedback is honest, encouraging, and thoughtful with the aim of making your story stronger.
