Editing


My goal as an editor is to help each author present their vision as clearly as possible while letting their unique voice shine through.

As the senior prose editor for The Hopper, I read submissions and work with authors to prepare their pieces for publication. Generally I go through two or three rounds of edits with authors, including structural edits, line-edits, and proofreading (and fact-checking for nonfiction work).

I look for stories that have a point of view. I want the weird, the wonderful, and the hard-to-stomach. I love vivid scenes, quiet emotion, and voices that tell a common story from a new perspective. Most of all, I love to hear your unique voice, telling your story in the way only you can. Don't worry about how anyone else would write it.
