Your world.
Handled with care.
Book editing and audiobook narration for paranormal romance, romantasy, urban fantasy, and dark fantasy authors.
Work with someone who already lives on your shelves.
You wrote the book. Now you’re navigating everything that comes next: a crowd of editors with different feedback styles or a narrator who might not match the voice you hear in your head. And underneath all of it, one question: who can you actually trust with the kind of story you wrote?
The answer: someone on your side of the table who treats your manuscript as something you made, and not just something to fix or profit from.
What I do and who I do it for
In-Process Developmental Editing
Coming Soon
Developmental edit
You’ve finished your draft.
A structural diagnosis: I read your entire manuscript for patterns (what’s working, what isn’t, and what to revise first) and deliver an editorial letter, annotated manuscript, and prioritized revision roadmap.
Not sure which kind of editing your book needs?
Answer two questions, and I’ll point you to the right door.
Audiobook Narration
Your story, voiced. Immersive narration that honors the world you built.
Consistent character portrayal, backed by a multi-pass production pipeline for retail-ready audio. I read these genres; I know how they should sound.
From people I've worked with
-
“She’s helped me develop the emotional core of the story, guided me through revisions with a sharp but supportive eye, and stepped in as both researcher and sounding board. My story has taken creative new angles that wouldn’t have been possible without her guidance.”
— Kelly Dern, paranormal romance and science fiction/fantasy author
-
“As a career editor and writing instructor, I have very high standards for editors I work with personally as well as editors I refer potential clients to. Ashley earns unhesitating high marks in every category. Her work product is incredibly insightful, actionable, and thorough. She goes above and beyond to understand the genre, the author’s goals, and how to move a draft so it’s market ready. Ten stars out of five for editorial ethics, reliability, and quality!”
— Jeanne De Vita, Owner of Book Genie and Literary Agent
