My name is Rosie Steffel and I love editing.
I have a First Class Honours degree in English Literature and I am a perfectionist! That is all you really need to know.
I have a Law Degree and I have also written and published five of my own fiction books. I worked with several editors in the process, so I know what you need from me: good communication, attention to detail, professionalism, timeliness, and kindness. And a feel for language and style – rest assured that I will respect your voice.
One of my favourite genres is Regency romance. I am very familiar with the period style and details, and I can give you guidance on word choices and anachronisms, though I do not claim to be an expert!
Other genres I love include cozy mysteries and crime, and all sub-genres of fantasy and romance. I can handle any level of heat, and I love the Oxford comma but I can edit without it.
I am Australian but I’m comfortable editing in British or American English (and Australian English too, of course).
I love reading, writing, editing, and talking about publishing. I also love chocolate, and your fees will support my supply.
