Carta Editorial Services
I want to help you make your novel the best it can be.
Carta Editorial Services opened in 2018, with an aim to provide novice- and debut authors with friendly and affordable editing services. Since then, I have worked extensively with authors who want to query or self-publish high-quality manuscripts.
I understand how scary it can be to show your work to an outsider, especially for the first time. To make it all a little bit easier, I believe in encouraging, constructive feedback and an open dialogue. I will help you set achievable goals, based on your strengths and ambitions.
Genres: Psychological Thrillers. Domestic Thrillers. Mysteries. Suspense. Women’s Fiction. Epistolary Fiction/Mixed Media. UpLit/Feelgood. Urban Fantasy. Paranormal Romance.
Specialities: Strong women protagonists. Cat-and-mouse-games. Stalkers. Cults. Unreliable narrators. Small-town and family dynamics. LGBTQIA+. Witches. Ghosts. Magic.
Target Audience: Adult. Young Adult. Middle Grade.
Every author is different, and so is their process. I’m flexible in how I structure my services, and aim to fit most budgets. Email me for a no-commitment chat, free sample and quote today: catherine@cartaedits.com
When I’m not editing, I like to read, swim, solve puzzles and kill plants in increasingly creative ways because the internet told me to. I live in a small town in Western Australia with my partner and our two cats.
I am a member of Editorial Freelancers Association, National Association of Independent Writers & Editors, WritingWA, Sisters in Crime Australia, and the Australian Crime Writers Association.
I look forward to hearing from you!
