Who am I to edit your book?

I’ve spent years studying the theory and honing my skills. My training and expertise allow me to provide articulate guidance that’s not based on personal taste but on sound theory and professional standards.

My approach is not to dictate but to teach. I’m here to partner with you and give you the tools you need to strengthen your story and sentences while still holding true to your vision and unique voice.

I’m a writer too. I understand the emotional roller coaster that writing a book can take you on, and I’m here to encourage and support you on that journey.

Thank you for your expert advice in the art of telling epic fantasy.

I have found Amelia Winters not only generous but on point. Her advice and ability to communicate where things need to be clarified and strengthened has been invaluable. Amelia also recommends so many resources outside of her own services that are extremely helpful and part of her generosity. Thank you for your expert advice in the art of telling epic fantasy.

With Amelia’s manuscript critique, holes in my arcs are pinpointed and her suggestions finally have me on track to fix them.

I’ve had great beta readers, but with Amelia’s manuscript critique, holes in my arcs are pinpointed and her suggestions finally have me on track to fix them. You can’t fix what you don’t know or haven’t got your head round!

Amelia’s work was a stunning display of editorial excellence.

From grammar and style considerations to historical fact-checking, internal continuity and readability insights to technical dialogue recommendations, her stylistic and copy edit was pure quality. Her work demonstrated three things to me: she’s a gifted editor, she has an indefatigable work ethic, and she has the ability and will to communicate her gift to others. Her skills are worth every penny, and she is getting my next assignment as soon as it’s ready!
