Stolen Luck
Original Television Pilot Adapted from My Published Novel

I wrote this pilot for a Disney writing fellowship, adapting the first book in my Luck Series for television. Since the novel begins with Megan trying to write about her worst day ever, I created new scenes showing what her life was like before the story began.
Megan seems to have all the luck in the world, but her good fortune is causing problems with her friends and family. When a leprechaun shows up at her door, she’s about to discover there’s more to her luck than she ever imagined.

Editing & Editorial Experience

With more than a decade of experience in writing, editing, and publishing, I've worked with authors across multiple genres to strengthen their manuscripts and prepare them for publication. This includes formatting and cover creation as well.

My editorial work includes developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading. I focus on character consistency, dialogue, pacing, continuity, and preserving each author's unique voice. I try to teach while I edit so authors know how to fix those little edits on their own.

For this section, I have a before and after edit sample from a book I originally wrote in 2014.

Before
This story was originally written in 2014, when I first got started with publishing. I recently pulled it back out again to see what needs to be fixed so I can continue on with the story.
The original manuscript reflects my writing style and experience at the time, before years of writing, editing, and working with other authors helped me develop my skills.

After
For this sample, I went back to a manuscript I originally wrote in 2014 to demonstrate how my editing skills have developed over the years.
I've included the original version alongside my revised version, with tracked changes showing the edits I made to improve clarity, flow, and consistency while preserving the original story and voice.
