"Exceptionally accurate and incredibly detailed" — Hazel Fattorusso

This is for you if…

You're building a business,
not just a book.

You're an indie author who takes publishing seriously. You're on Kindle Unlimited, releasing regularly, and you know that the gap between a good book and a great one is often in the edit.

01

You're on Kindle Unlimited and volume matters

You're publishing 2–4 books a year and need an editor who can turn around a 90k manuscript quickly, accurately, and without compromising on quality. Your release schedule is non-negotiable.

02

You've outgrown Upwork and Fiverr

You've had a bad editing experience — or you just know that your income has grown and your editor should too. You want someone invested in your author career, not just your manuscript.

03

You write romance or fantasy — and want an editor who gets it

The slow burn. The enemies-to-lovers arc. The world-building exposition. I know what readers expect and where manuscripts typically need the most work. No genre-blind feedback.

04

You want a long-term creative partner

My best client relationships span entire series. I learn your voice, your world, your readers — and that makes every subsequent book better and faster to edit.

What authors say

Crime Novel
"

I had the pleasure of working with Charlotte as the copy editor for my novel, and I honestly couldn't recommend her highly enough. She was amazing to work with — exceptionally accurate, thoughtful, and incredibly detailed. Charlotte went above and beyond at every stage, catching things I would have never noticed and elevating the overall quality of my manuscript.

Charlotte was excellent! She delivered the edits on my romance novel exactly on time, and provided great specific feedback along with bigger picture items that were extremely helpful. Would definitely hire her again.

I'm truly enjoying reading through it. I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your feel for language. Your suggestions are thoughtful, and the lines you added to clarify certain moments are beautiful.

About Charlotte

An editor who actually reads the genre.

I'm Charlotte Mitchell — a copy editor specialising in romance and fantasy fiction for indie authors. I don't work across every genre. I chose two, went deep, and stayed there.

That focus means I understand the tropes your readers love, the pacing conventions that keep pages turning, and the moments where indie manuscripts most commonly need work. I know the difference between a slow burn and a story that's just slow.

I work with authors who are building careers, not just publishing once. If you're on Kindle Unlimited, releasing regularly, and ready to invest in editing that matches your ambition — that's who I built this service for.
