ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Angela. I live near Boston, Massachusetts. I'm a professional editor and beta reader specializing in self-published novels. I offer several services that can polish your manuscript and prepare it for publishing. I am thorough, detail-oriented, and passionate about stories. I would love to lend my expertise to your writing process.

​

My most-preferred genres are young adult and adult fantasy, romance, light sci-fi, thriller, paranormal, horror, mystery, speculative fiction, and general fiction. I have some special knowledge when it comes to Japanese culture, Chinese culture, tea, coffee, figure skating, travel, cooking, animals, coffee, tea, and software engineering/the tech industry.
