I’m Alex, a freelance fiction editor. I hold a copyediting certificate from UC San Diego and have completed additional developmental editing training through the Editorial Freelancers Association. I became an editor because I’m passionate about stories and because at my core, I’m a reader first.

I still remember hiding a flashlight under my bed so I could stay up late and read the newest Harry Potter release without my parents knowing. That same love of disappearing into a fictional world is what inspires me to help authors create stories that captivate their readers.

Whether I’m untangling big-picture structure or polishing the line-level details, my goal is to strengthen clarity, pacing, and emotional impact while protecting your voice. I want your readers to fall into your world, connect with your characters, and stay up “just one more chapter” longer than they meant to.

When I’m not buried in a manuscript, you can find me hiking the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains or baking gluten-free treats for my two daughters.
