Editorial Services
Do you have an idea for a story but not know how to develop it into a book?
Are you working on a manuscript but getting stuck in the middle?
Is your first draft written but in need of polishing?
Are you submitting your work but getting only rejections?
Do you want to self-publish but need help producing a professional product and navigating the world of publishing?
Do you have an idea but want someone else to ghostwrite it?
I can help with all these issues, and more.
Each writer is unique, with strengths and weaknesses and a personal voice. Every story is special, with its own set of complications as well as its own brilliance. As your editor, I’ll work closely with you to develop, strengthen, and refine your writing, without losing your voice and style.
From the first idea to a book in your hands—and on the bookstore shelf—no matter where you are on your writing journey, I can help you make your prose superb.

“The most significant moment was when I connected with my freelance editor, Teresa Lynn. (This was before I signed with a publisher.) I was nearly ready to give up trying to write Fortune’s Fall. I’d hit a dead end and couldn’t figure out which way to go with the story. I found Teresa via the ACFW, and she agreed to work with me. She was the perfect blend of encouragement and critique, and she illuminated the path forward like a God-given lighthouse. I honestly don’t know if I would’ve persevered without her."
–Katherine Barger, author of the award-winning Fortune's Fall, in an interview with Tara Ross for Fiction Finder (Nov. 30, 2020)
