Not sure what your manuscript needs?

Maybe something feels off — but you’re not sure what.

Maybe your characters need more depth, your pacing feels uneven, or your dialogue and narration aren’t quite clicking.

Or maybe… you just need someone to wrangle your commas (no judgment — that’s what I’m here for).

Whatever stage you're in, I offer editing services to help bring your story into focus.

"As well as being an impeccable line and copy editor, Maia Burt was able to identify problems within my manuscript that had eluded me, and with skill and understanding make suggestions that opened up areas of development that will add depth and nuance to my novel. I've worked with her on several projects now, and find her to be professional, thorough, and a good communicator.”
