Fiction Editing
I provide editorial and content services for independent authors and publishers in literary and speculative fiction. My fiction services include proofreading, copyediting, line editing, beta reading, and cold reading with the option to combine some of these services into a package.
UK–U.S. conversions
Having lived in both the UK and the U.S. for extended periods of time, I am well-versed in the differences between the two Englishes, and I have worked on several projects adjusting them for an American or British audience.
Forensic science consulting
Are you a mystery writer looking to write more scientifically accurate or plausible story lines? I have both an MSc and a BS in forensic science, and completed an internship at a body farm while at university. Whether you need help writing about skeletal anatomy, time-of-death estimations, or latent finger-print collection—I'm the editor you need!
I felt like I was a good writer and had a good story. Several friends in different artistic/creative fields had advised me to consider some professional help prior to considering shopping my book around for publication. I interviewed over 20 editors and chose to work with Bailey after she shared some of her edits.
What I found refreshing about her style is that she really worked hard to let me keep my voice in the edits. She pointed out inconsistencies in my story-line, areas of confusion, and things that did not quite make sense. She offered suggestions along the way but respected my desire to execute the changes in my own style. She was timely and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her without reservation.
