Freelance Editor for Fiction and Memoir
Dani C | Freelance Fiction and Memoir Editor

  • “Not only did Dani provide deep, thoughtful feedback on character development and plot, but she actually gave me suggestions that included options. She found holes and inconsistencies I couldn’t see, noted if anything seemed out of character, and pointed out where potentially important elements were missing. Dani helped me get to a place where I finally feel confident to share my story with the world... I just wish I’d worked with her sooner.”

    Patricia S., Author

  • “Dani does an excellent job and far exceeded my expectations of an editor. She is very professional, responsive, and constructive. Her insights meet you exactly where you are. Everything she said was spot on (whether I wanted to hear it or not) and has made my novel significantly better. If you're looking for someone to help you shape and improve your novel, look no further. I'll definitely be coming back to her for all my future work.”

    Alex C., Author

  • “Working with Dani was an absolute delight. Professional, perceptive, personable and prompt, she can help your work become a better version of itself."
