Editing Services
How Does it Work?
So you just finished your master work. It's beautiful. Perfect. No one has ever written a story so engaging and—
Hold up! Wait a minute! You need an edit.
Hi, I'm Adryanna. I have a Master's Degree in English and Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University, a passion for writing, and a love for grammar (including the Oxford comma). I'm one of the founders of Emergent Realms and the in-house editor.
No matter where you are in your writing and publishing journey, I'm here to help you. If you know exactly what you need, go ahead and let me know. If you aren't sure, we can chat about it and figure out your next steps together.
My favorite genres are Fantasy (YA, Adult, Romantasy, and other sub-genres) and Horror, but I'm open to editing other fiction. I am not a good fit for non-fiction.
