SBM Literary

Providing award-winning editing and consultation services since 2009.

About Us

SBM Literary formed in 2009, when I was still a college student, struggling between meals. Since then, my client list has grown, and I've had the opportunity to work with award-winning authors, business owners, and other industry professionals across the world.

Some of my clients have gone on to be represented and published by well-known literary agencies and publishing groups, such as Writers House, Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency, McIntosh & Otis, Hachette, and Simon & Schuster. Others have gone on to win national awards like the All-USA Academic Scholarship and the LAURA Short Fiction Award for Women Writing the West. 

As for who I am as an editor, I'm a curious and collaborative editor, interested in maintaining my client's artistic integrity while still trying to take their work and understanding of current literary practices to the next level. Although I focus mostly on fiction, I take on all nature of projects for both traditional and self-publishing. My specializations include: YA, MG, NA, chapter books, picture books, graphic novels, fantasy, romance, mystery, public speeches, business contracts, proposals, and academic nonfiction. I provide editorial assessments, developmental edits, copy edits, line edits, proofreading, query letter and synopsis critiques, and phone consultations. For information on what these services entail, review our Rates and Services page. And for more about me as a person, check out my LinkedIn and Instagram pages.
