I received a B.A. in Political Science with a minor in English from the University of San Diego in 1993. Over the years, I have worked as a paralegal, business manager, underwriter, and a mentor in the public school system editing both professional and educational documents. I have a passion for reading and supporting authors, and began proofreading for Indie authors in the Fall of 2018 because I love being a part of the process that helps create the best manuscript possible. I pride myself on my attention to detail, the rapport and relationships I build with authors to better understand their individual needs, and my timely completion of projects. I have had the privilege of working with New York Times, USA and Amazon Bestselling authors, and continue to grow my client list every year.

Author Testimonials:

“Working with Sarah on every project of mine has become a necessity. Her attention to detail, ability to edit in a way that stays true to my characters, and her constructive feedback has helped shape my books in the best possible way. She went above and beyond to not only provide detailed notes but also she followed up with them to ensure I felt happy and confident with the final version of my story. She will surely get you hooked on her style of editing and proofreading, and I’m sure you will be just as happy as me to always have her help with each of your projects.” – International Bestselling Author Lauren Asher

“I needed someone to proofread my book at the last minute and Sarah magically came through! She’s thorough and quick and honest. Will definitely work with her again!” – NYT & USA Bestselling Author Monica Murphy

“Sarah is absolutely amazing. Working with her is an utter pleasure. She is diligent, efficient and a true book lover. I’m so impressed at the quality of her work along with her wonderful personality. I don’t want to work with anyone else.” – Author Anne Malcom

“Sarah’s sharp eye and attention to detail were incredibly helpful on my last project. She caught things everyone else had missed. Sometimes the difference between a good read and a great one are in the minute things that, if gotten wrong, distract from the story. Sarah attends to those things. I highly recommend her!” – USA Bestselling Author Kennedy Ryan

“Sarah is a heaven send. She’s meticulous and fast. I couldn’t have wished for a better proof. Sarah’s attention to detail is second to none, and I cannot wait to continue working with her.” – Author Alexandra Silva

“Sarah is amazing! So thorough and detailed. I honestly could not have wished for a better proof for my book. I loved how professional and supportive she was, and I will be using her for all my books.” – Author Trilina Pucci

“Sarah did a wonderful job on my latest release! She was fast with great attention to detail. I can’t wait to work with her again.” – Author Maya Hughes

“Working with Sarah was by far the easiest and most enjoyable experience with a proofreader ever! I left very – and I mean very – little time for proofreading and totally forgot to schedule someone. Sarah responded back to my plea immediately and fit me in her schedule three days later! Not only that she kept me up to date on her progress while she worked on my manuscript and stayed true to the date she said she’d have it back to me. To make it even better her proofreading work was phenomenal. I already have her booked for my next project.” –Author Kennedy L. Mitchell

“Sarah was extremely easy to work with. She exudes both enthusiasm and knowledge within the romance novel realm. It was a relief to find an editor who understood not only me, but also my characters, and where we were going, and why. She was gentle but thorough, which was just what I needed. I highly recommend her services.” – Author A. Marie

“I’ve worked with Sarah as both a Beta reader and a proofreader, and she was brilliant in both roles. Having her keen attention to detail as the final set of eyes on my manuscript polished my debut novel until it was shining and something I was truly proud to publish. She’s also extremely easy and enjoyable to work with, always open to answering my questions, and a wonderful asset to your editing team. I can’t imagine working with anyone else, and I highly recommend her!” – Author Brit Benson
