If a book is well written, I always find it too short.

Welcome to By the By Editing! I'm Sarah, a freelance fiction editor in American English, who specializes in the early part of the editing journey, developmental and line editing.
While I'm familiar with most genres, I focus primarily on romance. Contemporary, fantasy, historical, paranormal, sweet or spicy . . . I love them all!
I'm ready to work with you to ensure your writing is polished, professional, and ready for publication.
Hello!
I have a BA in English from Kansas State University and a MA in English Literature from College of Charleston. I used my degrees to teach English 101 and 102 at a local technical college for six years, but stopped to focus on raising my three boys and volunteering at their school. With all the kids in school full-time, I’ve shifted my career to editing fiction.
I started training with a certificate program through the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, The Keys to Effective Editing. I've also received a certificate from Editorial Arts Academy for completing the Copyediting Fiction and Nonfiction Trade Books practicum, as well as the Developmental Editing for Fiction course.
When I'm not editing, I'm usually momming or reading, though I admit I'm slightly addicted to putting together LEGO sets!
