I edit and proofread Regency (and other historical) fiction. I specialize in clean Regency fiction, including Jane Austen variations. I have a strong literary background, especially in 19th-century culture and literature, and I have more than 13 years of experience as a freelance editor. I hold a Master of Arts degree in English Literature and a Poynter ACES Certificate in Editing. I'm a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA).
I have an advanced understanding of Jane Austen's world and writing style. Austen was one of my first literary loves, and I have read all of her novels several times. Persuasion is my favorite, but Pride and Prejudice still holds a special place in my heart.
I offer a full range of editing and proofreading services for your clean Regency (or other historical) fiction, including:

Praise from Clients
"Working with Samantha as both proofreader and fact checker on my historical fiction novel was a fantastic experience. Her attention to detail is outstanding, and she returned my pages promptly with clear, insightful edits and thoughtful suggestions. Every writer needs a trusted team of experts to bring a story confidently across the finish line, and I'm grateful to have Samantha as part of mine. I would gladly work with her again." -- Hope C. Stewart (Author of The Oleander Message, a Regency mystery novel)
"Working with Samanta thus far has been an absolute delight! She has truly helped me reflect more deeply on my writing, improving details and offering superb advice. Her skills are unmatched, and her kindness is right on par. I will definitely work with her again in the future!" -- Anne Gillespie (Regency fiction writer)
