Feedback without fear.
Whether you’ve never written a book before or you’re on your 20th manuscript, all it can take is one comment to send you on an impostor syndrome-fueled anxiety spiral. My job is to make sure that spiral doesn’t happen.
With editing processes tailored to your specific needs, I provide as much — or as little — comfort as you need through solutions, compliments, additional research, and teaching, in the feedback process that you’re looking for.

“Working with Nicole for my first novel has been an absolute delight! She has been just as enthusiastic about my work as I am and very helpful with the flow of my ideas and character/world building. She has also answered any of my questions and emails in a timely fashion. 10/10 would recommend her for your editing needs and will be working with her on all my upcoming projects”
