Editing

Professional developmental editing and manuscript feedback from author and coach Georgia Clark.

Whether you're preparing to query, self-publish, or revise, I offer expert editorial feedback to help your manuscript stand out from the crowd.

I bring the full force of my storytelling expertise—seven published novels, over a decade in the industry, and my work as a freelance editor at 831 Stories—to every project. I’ll help you sharpen your story, elevate your voice, and build a book you're proud to share.

I edit both fiction and creative nonfiction, with a special love for romance, women’s fiction, book club novels, and stories with queer, funny, or emotionally resonant themes.
