Sirène Storyhouse
Hello! I’m Lily, a seasoned book editor on a mission to elevate your writing. I edit fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, ensuring every word shines.
Here’s a bit about what I believe:
The relationship between writer and editor is more than important.
It’s everything.
You’ve poured your heart into your manuscript. Every scene, every word is an extension of you. Not just anyone can edit your book.
When choosing an editor, it’s important to consider whether they “get” you and your book. Can you trust them to give you the right feedback that will help your book become the best version of itself?
As an editor, my focus is on providing detailed, insightful, and constructive feedback to help my writers see their visions come to fruition. My goal is for you to leave feeling seen and with a fresh perspective on your book to take it to the next step.
Before working together, I make sure we are a good fit. Because when we are, that’s when the book magic happens!
Education:
– Hamilton College (B.A. Honors in Sociology and Creative Writing)
– Editorial Arts Academy (Graduate)
Experience
– Edited 20+ nonfiction and fiction books
– Founded Sirène Storyhouse in 2020
More About Me:
I’m a professional book editor and writer with over five years of experience wordsmithing with publishing houses, authors, nonprofits, and small businesses.
I strongly believe that everyone is an artist and just needs to find their way back to their innate artistry (thank you The Artist’s Way).
As a people person who loves literary solitude, I’m great with people and words. I harness my interpersonal skills to get at the heart of your story and help your manuscript reach its full potential.
I provide fiction and nonfiction book editing services. Let’s chat and figure out how I can best help you.
