Carrie loves the entire process of publishing a novel—from developing that brand new, exciting idea to formatting the words to look perfect on the page.She is sometimes intimidated by editing her own words, but she loves to read other writers’ works in progress to help make them the best they can be. An unfinished story is like a giant puzzle of ideas and emotions and words, just waiting to get every piece fit in the right place.
Carrie loves reading young adult books, especially fantasy or dystopian. She reads everything but dark horror, heavy sci-fi, and erotica. Her favorite book is BOOK OF A THOUSAND DAYS by Shannon Hale.

What Clients Say
Carrie delivers a fantastic developmental edit! She helped me through my whole trilogy. Her notes were comprehensive and she found all the missing plot points, even remembering essential hooks left behind in other books. She saw where the pacing needed work, but also recognized some of the more unconventional things I was trying and helped me complete the story I wanted to tell. I highly recommend her services.
