PUBLISHING A BOOK WITHOUT EDITING IT IS LIKE
wearing a ratty sweatshirt and not brushing your hair for your first date with Prince Charming.
It doesn’t matter how much of a catch you are or how perfect you are for each other if you make a bad first impression.
There won’t be a second date.
Cute? Yes! But you need to try a little harder than this.
PUBLISHING YOUR STORIES IS THE DREAM, RIGHT?
Don’t let it end in failure and heartbreak.
You need to make the right first impression and enchant readers from page one.
If that sounds like a tall order, that’s because it is.
I’m here to help.
IF THIS IS YOU…
You’re seeing indie authors with hundreds of avid fans and thinking I want that too.
You’d rather spend time writing something new than combing through hundreds of pages for missing quotation marks.
You’re afraid that your characters don’t jump off the page like you want them to.
You’ve tried to edit your story before, but you worry that you’re too close to it to really see any flaws.
You’ve had alpha readers and beta readers, but their feedback just wasn’t good enough—or worse, they didn’t understand your story.
You’re stuck with a story that doesn’t totally match your vision yet.
YOU’RE EXACTLY WHERE YOU NEED TO BE.
Publishing a beautiful book doesn’t have to break the bank. No matter what kind of editing you need, we can work out a custom payment plan.
And returning clients get a discount—always!
Editing with a single click sounds too good to be true, but it’s not.
Let me take care of it and get back hours (and hours) that you can use to focus on the fun parts of being an author.
Hiring me gets you the knowhow you need plus the vital love and support of a friend. No more harsh or insensitive critiques.
I’m not just your editor, I’m one of your biggest fans and loudest supporters.

what do my clients have to say?
I’m glad you asked!
“Working with RaeAnne was an absolute delight. Her recommendations, suggestions, and advice took my manuscript from good to amazing. She has fabulous attention to detail, and her changes still preserve the author’s authentic voice in their writing. I’m absolutely thrilled with the work RaeAnne has done for me, and I can’t wait to book her for every single project I have in the future!”
“This lady is an absolute gem! I worked with her for my debut novel while getting it ready to send off to my editor, and she was motivational, helpful, and informative! She really took her time going through and leaving helpful and informative comments in my manuscript, and her overall review was so clear and concise! I highly recommend working with her and will definitely be reaching out again for future work!””
“Working with Lavender Prose was a delight. This was my first time hiring a professional editor and my first published work, so I was very nervous going into the process. RaeAnne held my hand and helped me feel comfortable with the edits she was making. I appreciated her suggestions and felt that she respected my author voice, while trying to make my work the best it could be. I felt proud of what my first published work knowing she’d combed through it. Would definitely recommend her!”
“As authors, we write in solitude, but it takes a team to make a book. I highly recommend one final go round with this very qualified proofreader—the comma queen. Even after my editor did two rounds and we were ready to print, RaeAnne unearthed additional corrections that the human eye previously overlooked. It makes all of the difference to be 100% perfect. After all, if a 90,000 word manuscript is 99% flawless, that’s still 900 errors the reader will judge you by. I am so glad I had the cushion of time before going to print for RaeAnne to be my final reader.”
“RaeAnne is delightful to work with!! She is a thoughtful editor with a wealth of knowledge, and always so incredibly sweet. Sharing any writing project with the world for the first time is tough, but RaeAnne makes the editing process feel easy! I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a great editor, cheerleader, and friend!”

since starting this biz six years ago…
I’ve worked with more than 50 different authors to take their books from “it was okay” to “my favorite read all year.”
Those characters you draw fanart of?
That beautiful writing that makes you breathless?
The book boyfriends who make you weak in the knees?
Those books that you stay up way too late to finish?
I’ve been a part of it all.
I’ve combed through thousands of pages to fix errors and strengthen talents.
I’ve worked overtime to meet wild deadlines.
And I’ve helped countless authors through difficult decisions and doubts. I don’t believe my work stops once I give you back your manuscript; if you do me the honor of making me your editor, you’ll have my support for the entire editing process—and beyond.
in 2023, i edited more than 1,293,500 words!
That’s over 5,000 pages!
