About Me
I have been editing fiction since 2018 after my good friend, a writer, brought me into his world and let me be a part of his creative process. I fell in love with it immediately.
After teaching English in China for almost a decade, I moved to Germany with my husband and began my career as a freelance editor. I have a bachelor’s degree in Chinese from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, I have multiple certificates in copyediting and teaching English, and I have taken writing and editing courses to help me in my editing career.
I work with publishers—currently with Inkitt—writers, and agencies, editing novels and short stories as well as marketing and corporate materials. In between full-service editorial work with Inkitt, I take on projects with individual writers and major corporations (e.g., Porsche, Tom Tailor, Nespresso).
My services have helped writers get published and win writing awards.
When I’m not working on a project, I spend my time reading books, either current debut novels or books on writing techniques, watching anything science fiction or fantasy, or traveling with my husband.
I have always loved having my nose in a book, getting completely lost in whatever world the writer built for me. When all the elements of a story (plot, world, characters, writing) are correctly arranged, it is possible to completely escape this reality and existence and become someone—or something—else. As George R.R. Martin wrote in A Dance with Dragons, “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.”
Can you remember the last time you read a book and everything else disappeared; the concepts of time, space, and the self became nonexistent? This is what I chase. And this is what I want to help you create: characters to fall in love with, worlds to get immersed in, and stories to get absorbed by. I want to read great stories, so let me help you make your story great.
