A good editor is like a good domme. She’s respectful of your wants and anticipates your needs. She is considerate of your boundaries and hers. She is capable of safely, yet sternly challenging you to grow and be your best self within those parameters. 

Your relationship with her is based on mutual respect and open, honest communication, which flows freely in both directions. And you know you can trust her to give your words a good lashing when they misbehave.

The relationship between author and editor is a partnership, and and intimate one at that. It takes courage for a write to craft a story in the first place. It takes even more strength to bare those words in their raw state to someone else. You need someone who will treat that vulnerability with respect it deserves, someone who will honour your story while challenging it to be the best version it can be today.

Respecting the authenticity of an author’s voice is of utmost importance. Especially when the nature of this work is creative and artistic, I don’t feel it’s appropriate for me to come in and compromise your narrative by making changes that may have been your deliberate, artistic choice.

The editing process is an open dialogue that happens between us in your margins.

At the same time, you never know what can be uncovered when you get a fresh, dedicate set of eyes to team up with your words. 

As your editor and word domme, that’s what I can provide.

I’m not here to tell you how I would write your story. I’m here to help you tell yours in the way that remains true your voice and its intentions.

The Smut Queen Editing Experience

My blended approach combines the important first impressions and reactions of a beta read with the thoughtful feedback of developmental editing and the technical refinement of a line edit. The most extensive proofread in town!

This thorough pass of your words goes well beyond a traditional beta or proofread. My service provides extensive commentary and margin notes, including my reader reactions as well as analysis of themes, plot, character development, dialogue, story continuity, overall readability, and other vital elements that make or break your story. I’ll offer suggestions to improve the rhythm and flow of the piece, and pose questions for you to consider in order to build and strengthen upon the foundation you’ve already laid down. 

For 4+ years, I have worked as a professional fiction editor, with an emphasis on erotica- so you know I won’t shy away from anything you bring to me. I have worked with award winning writers and best selling authors on hundreds of stories to raise them to their highest level.

What you get:

  • One thorough pass of your work
  • Initial reader reactions
    • Thoughtful suggestions + considerations based on those impressions
    • A healthy mix of enthusiastic cheerleading + frank honesty
  • Extensive in-text commentary + margin notes
  • Reader Report on strengths, weaknesses, suggestions for improvement
  • Edits and suggestions for technical issues, spelling, grammar, syntax, word choice, repetitive or missing words, etc.
  • Subsequent rounds of edits not included, but can be added upon request

Accepted genres: Any fiction (especially erotica!), creative non-fiction, essays, blog posts.

No poetry.

​How much will it cost?

Every story is as unique as the author writing it. I can provide a bespoke quotation once we have discussed the particulars of your work (length, genre, stage of completion) and the specific needs you need addressed.

I’d love to be your word domme and respectfully whip your story into shape. You just need to be willing to submit.
