Who's The Editor?

Hi! My name is Sara Raztresen. As a writer with an educational background in Popular Fiction and Publishing, I'm dedicated to ensuring every manuscript is not only masterfully written, but able to find a place in the market while staying fresh and true to the author's vision.

I have several years experience working with writers on academic, fiction, and nonfiction works in all stages of the writing process: brainstorming, outlining, researching, drafting, and revising. I've also had my own work published in literary magazines in the past, and in 2023, I published my debut fantasy novel,

The Glass Witch. Between my education and experience, I'm well equipped to help writers navigate both the craft and the industry around it.

My editing services are for those who seek honest, thorough critique after they believe no more can be done, and who are likewise committed to giving their work the polish it deserves. Competitive prices and flexible payment plans also ensure that all writers can afford quality editing, no matter their word count.

If you are unsure whether your manuscript falls within the genres listed here, you can reach out to me with the contact form at the end of this page, and I'll respond to you within 1-2 business days.

I look forward to working with you and helping bring your manuscript to its highest potential.

See plan descriptions below and contact me for more information on getting started.
