Freelance book editor + blogger
Hi, reader! I’m Mollie. I’ve talked books on the internet since 2014 and, spoiler, I love it.
Book blogging is like my digital reading journal.
Here, you’ll find book reviews, reading lists, reader lifestyle content, author interviews, and the nitty gritty behind the editing and publishing process.
If you’re interested in editing, make sure to check out my guide on how to become a book editor.
For a decade, I’ve worked with publishers, editorial agencies, independent authors, and businesses on a variety of editorial projects—from proofreading, copyediting, and substantive editing to story evaluation and editorial project management services.

Work with me
Not sure what type of editing you’re looking for? I offer free sample edits to evaluate the level of editing needed before creating an estimate. You can learn more about my editing philosophy and editorial process or drop me a line to see if I’m the right fit for your project.
In general, I offer proofreading, copyediting, and content editing services as well as manuscript evaluations and one-on-one editor mentoring.
I charge by the hour for all editorial work, and my rates are within industry standards.
