Editing Services
I'm a freelance developmental editor with over four years of experience helping authors develop their fiction. I've also taught fiction workshops, webinar series, judged writing contests, hosted Ask Me Anything sessions, and more. I specialize in children's literature, fantasy/sci-fi and horror but can provide helpful feedback for any genre.
My services include full and partial manuscript reviews, synopsis, and query feedback. To get started, contact me through my website or find me on Critiquematch, where I am a certified senior editor.
"I recommend Lily to all my critique partners. She's hands down the best editor I've worked with."
Genie P.
"Lily's critique was exactly what I needed. Her comments were specific, clear, and actionable. Her feedback will not only make this manuscript better but will make me a better writer."
Sean M.
About Me
I'm a twice self-published author, recipient of the Delacorte Fiction Prize, Finalist for the 2023 WLT Manuscript Contest, featured author on the 2023 Publisher's Inklist, and member of the Writer's League of Texas. Since publishing my first work of fiction at age eleven, I knew writing was one of my greatest passions, and I'm excited to announce that I am continuing my literary journey by pursuing a BA in English Literature at Trinity College Dublin. I love reading as much as I love writing, and have enjoyed helping other authors with their work during my stints at Folio Literary Management, Howland Literary Agency, and Plympton Publishing House. I'm an enthusiastic and passionate editor who offers freelance services to any writers looking to take that next step.
