Preferred Genres for Editing

Like all editors, I do have my preferences for the types of stories I like to work with.

Do you write action? Bring it on. Are your scenes filled with the gruesome? I’m loving it even more. Do you weave in the fantasy, science or technology into that action-filled story? Okay, I’m sold.

If you send me science fiction, be prepared to have your scientific principles challenged; I have a PhD in Astronomy — yes, people, you can call me a rocket scientist, if you wish.

Genres of preference:

  • Suspense / Thriller (including romantic suspense)
  • Fantasy (all sub-genres, including paranormal romance)
  • Science Fiction (all sub-genres, near-future is my favorite, but a good space opera has me salivating)
  • Horror (bring on the heart-stopping fear)
  • Mystery / Crime (including violent crime, if the story demands it)
  • Comedy
  • Woman's Fiction (if the story is lighthearted and/or comical)

If you are looking for an editor for non-fiction, depending on the subject matter, you might have me fascinated and wanting to know more. If the subject is science related or about ancient cultures, my interest is piqued. And I wouldn't be averse to working on a book filled with toilet humor either. (Don't ask; just accept.)

Please note that I do not edit literary fiction, Christian fiction, poetry, or picture books.

My Stance on AI-Generated Stories:

Due to the copyright issues involved, I have elected to not work on AI-generated stories, but I will work with AI-assisted stories.

I define AI-generated stories as those stories that were created by an AI program from a prompt but without human intervention. If you are using AI tools to spark your imagination but your stories are still your own words, then likely have either an AI-assisted story or a human-generated story. For more information about how I define the line between AI-generated and AI-assisted, visit this blog post.

If you are unsure if you have an AI-assisted or AI-generated story, please reach out to me and let's have a chat. I can help you get it straight in your mind, so you know what checkboxes you need to check moving forward.
