Simply Spellbound Edits:
Freelance Fantasy, Romance, and Romantasy Editor for Indie Authors

Heart-centered editing to protect your magic and polish your world.

Contact

Your manuscript is more than just a draft—it’s a world I can’t wait to get lost in. I don’t just move commas; I celebrate your wins, brainstorm your magic systems, and obsess over your character arcs right alongside you. Editing doesn’t have to be scary or clinical. My goal is to be your story’s biggest advocate, giving you the kind of honest, heart-centered feedback that leaves you feeling inspired instead of drained. Let’s make the process as magical as the story you’re telling.

Preserving your voice. Strengthening your Story

Hi! I’m Heather. I’m a PNW-based editor for indie authors who believe their stories deserve a little extra magic.

I’m a firm believer in artistic freedom—I’m never going to tell you to cut a scene just to hit a “market-standard” word count. Your story should be exactly as long as it needs to be to feel purposeful and immersive.

When we work together, I basically adopt you and your characters. I’m your editor, your sounding board, and your personal cheerleader. Whether we’re diving into a line edit or a full manuscript evaluation, my goal is to protect your unique voice while making your prose shine. I want you to walk away from the editing process feeling empowered, celebrated, and ready to hit “publish.”

Ready to polish your masterpiece? I specialize in line editing, copyediting, and proofreading for the dreamers and the world-builders.

Editing Testimonials

"Heather is an advocate for artistic freedom. She will not advise you to reduce your word count to fit into industry norms, and she will respect your creative choices as an author as she polishes your manuscript."
Cortney Winn, author of Vesselless
“Aside from the actual edits, she provided a plethora of feedback and offered a trained, objective eye to not only spelling, grammar, and usage, but also plot, character development, and style. Her detailed work shows her passion for the subject matter, and not only that, but she treats manuscripts with the same care and love as the author. It was truly delightful to see her become as invested in the story and characters as me. ”
H.A. Flynn, author of These Whispering Woods
“She provided enthusiastic and specific encouragement for the aspects of my manuscript that she enjoyed and thoughtful, kind, actionable feedback on the areas for improvement. Her feedback was structured in a way that I could clearly understand why she was providing the notes and why they were important. “
Sarah Lindsay, author of The Weaver’s Wind
