I LOVE STORIES
Stories are promises of untold secrets and adventures to be had. They are filled with ulterior motives and love waiting to bloom. But stories do more than entertain:
-
They give strength and comfort
-
They help us to see truth
-
They change our perspectives and bring enlightenment
-
They connect us to each other and to history
Stories and words are powerful tools that are used in many genres and forms. When yielded properly, they change the world.
I’m Samantha, a freelance writer. I can help you to reach your audience and inspire them by bringing the light of your work into their darkness. I embrace Neil Gaiman's words, "Make good art."
Hello!
WHAT I OFFER
Readers want authenticity and I can help you to deliver it by getting to know your brand, your personality and what you want to convey. When it comes to writing and editing, I have a quality-focused mindset and an eye for detail.
Because I am a writer, I am sensitive to how other writers feel when providing me with their work to edit or review. I am supportive of writers and will work with you to ensure that your blood, sweat and tears shine through in a polished manner.
The genres I focus on are mystery, (YA) fantasy, as well as historical fiction.
Book
Reviewing
I provide a thorough analysis of your book, giving a summary and an in-depth look at the strong and weak points. I'll review a variety of aspects to provide your potential readers with a well-rounded overview.
BETA
READING
My suggestions involve the
identification of the weak and strong areas of your story. I will provide ideas to help you tighten them up and discover more about your writing style.
Editing
When you're too close to the trees and can’t see the forest, I provide you with a fresh perspective by asking the right questions, tightening up grammar and syntax, as well as strengthening your work's structure.
GhostWriting
This is a collaborative project where you provide me with an outline of your book and intentions for it. Chapter by chapter, we will work together to ensure tone, continuity, and more in your fictional work.

Samantha is a go-getter. I've had the distinct pleasure of working as a co-editor with her on a manuscript, and she is always on the ball. Her work is not only precise, but she always meets her deadline and keeps the rest of us on our toes.

Samantha's help was invaluable in crafting a story I wanted to tell. Her careful analysis and questions helped identify gaps and inconsistencies in the story, as well as plot points that needed to be clarified or fleshed out. Because of her help, my final draft was much more coherent and clear than it otherwise would have been. Samantha has a unique talent for identifying the questions that need to be asked in order to craft a story that makes sense.
L.P. Savage, Author of The Uprising: Kingdom in Shadow
Samantha is a super-star beta reader! She met all of my deadlines (even when I didn’t), and she provided well thought out, clear, and concise feedback. Her comments were guiding in a way that made me consider my story from a fresh angle. She offered great suggestions to improve the narrative that didn’t overshadow my voice as an author. And she asked thought-provoking questions that revealed the stronger and weaker points of my novel. I’d definitely recommend having Samantha as a reader/reviewer, as she is responsive, honest, and insightful!
