Work With Me
I help indie authors on a budget polish their manuscripts and connect with more readers—without breaking the bank.
Editing and PR support that’s effective, approachable, and accessible.
From manuscript to media, I help authors refine their stories and amplify their voices.
Whether you're shaping your first draft or preparing for launch, you don't have to figure it out alone.
For New & Emerging Authors
You've written your manuscript, but you're not sure if it's ready.
I offer editorial support to help you strengthen your story, improve flow, and feel confident moving toward publication.
For Established Authors
You've published (or are about to), but now you need visibility.
I provide PR and promotional support to help you connect with readers, reviewers, and the broader book community.
I offer a combination of editorial support and author PR services to help you feel confident in your work and visible to your audience.

Editorial & PR Support: Bundle Option
Because a polished book deserves to be seen.
If you're looking for support from manuscript to marketing, I offer combined packages that guide you through both the editing process and getting your book into readers' hands.
There are a lot of editors and publicists out there, but not all them are also readers, reviewers, and active members of the book community.
I bring a unique blend of:
Reader insight (what actually resonates)
Editorial expertise (what makes a story stronger)
Promotional experience (what gets books seen)
And I do it in a way that's collaborative, transparent, and accessible.
Testimonials
"After living with my book for two years and only sharing it with my wife and a few beta readers, I knew I needed professional feedback I could trust. Cynthia provided exactly that. Her manuscript review was insightful, encouraging, and incredibly thorough. Beyond her keen editorial eye, she was a true teammate in the process—always available, patient, and communicative. Writing can be a lonely business, but working with Cynthia made it feel like I had someone in my corner, helping me see my book through to the finish line. I already know who’s editing my next book!"
- Ray Goodrich, Nature of Evil
I went with a full editing package and honestly couldn’t be happier. Cynthia was super clear, thorough, quick with turnaround, and so supportive the whole way through. My writing tends to be really direct, and her edits helped smooth it out and make things clearer for the reader, less like a list and more like an actual story. While the comp title research wasn’t a perfect match (which I expected given the uniqueness of my project), the overall service far exceeded my expectations. I’ve already recommended her to three other authors!

"The most valuable part of working with Cynthia wasn’t just her thoughtful feedback—it was the way she approached the process as a collaborator, not a critic. I’ve heard horror stories of editorial relationships that felt more like a schoolteacher grading an assignment. With Cynthia, it was different. She truly listens, understands, and responds, making the editing process feel like a partnership. For any writer looking for a supportive and skilled editor, I’d recommend her in a heartbeat."
- Ray Goodrich, Nature of Evil
Working alongside Cynthia was one of the most educational and enjoyable experiences of my career to date. Her keen attention to detail, from grammar to tone, reflects her diligence and passion for her work. She is a great collaborator and is not afraid to provide feedback and guidance that will push her partners to better their skills while also reaching a new level of success. I highly recommend Cynthia’s services, consultation and support for anyone seeking to produce exceptional content.
