Elisabeth Nelson
I am an experienced editor specializing in romance fiction. I have edited most of the main subgenres, including erotic, supernatural, historical, and the classic Harlequin-type tropes (sheikhs, secret baby, cowboy, etc.). I also have experience with religious nonfiction and have edited scholarly and trade religious books. Clients include individual authors and publishers as varied as Oxford University Press and Ellora’s Cave.
I offer developmental, line, and copy editing. Expect a lot of comments in my dev/line edits. I won’t rewrite your work, but will teach and guide so that you can rewrite it yourself and learn along the way. I am also extremely nitpicky; I will question everything, especially behaviors that seem out of character, timelines, and the little details like travel times and the phases of the moon. You can have the best plot in the world, but if every night for two weeks has a full moon, it will all come crashing down.
