Editorial Services
Over the last ten years, I have worked on all sides of the publishing industry, from bookstores to literary agencies and most recently as an acquiring editor at HarperCollins Publishers. The books I edit win awards, hit bestseller lists, and land starred trade reviews, and I strive to elevate and celebrate diverse voices. I am open to freelance editorial work with authors, agents, and publishers.
My specialties are in middle grade and YA prose fiction in all genres, but I have experience editing picture books, graphic novels, historical and biographical nonfiction, short story collections, chapter books, and more.
Writers: please note that while I bring my publishing experience to your editorial process, I cannot guarantee a book deal or connect you to agents or publishers.

“Collaborating with Stephanie was a dream. They were receptive to changes I wanted to make in the story, and also pushed back respectfully when they thought an element was strong the way it was - a level of honesty and perspective I was really grateful for.”
— Catherine Bakewell, author of Flowerheart
