Hi everyone, I’m Anna. I’m an independent freelance book editor and publishing support specialist. I work primarily with authors who want their manuscripts to move from “almost ready” to professionally polished and publication-ready. What I care about most is helping writers present their ideas in a way that reads clean, confident, and impactful. A strong message deserves strong execution. Looking forward to connecting, learning, and contributing value here.

Morning everyone! ☀️ I wrote 20k words of a novel for a creative writing class in college, but it felt more like a chore than something I enjoyed. I feel like I have the potential to write and am always satisfied with pieces I have written as essays, but I’m not sure how to go about fiction in a non-cringe and fun way. Does this sound like I should try to write a long-form non-fiction book on a researched topic? Thoughts?
