Here at Editing by Candlelight, we believe books are magical; able to teach, and entertain, drawing in the reader to all manner of adventure.
Writing is its own adventure, and like most good adventures, it takes a team to be successful. We're your party members on this adventure, working over your manuscript to help ensure that it has the best possible chance at success. Or, perhaps a more apt comparison is that we are the smiths, honing your words so that you can set off on your publishing adventure with confidence. Whatever your manuscript, whatever the length, we will do the work to get you on the right path. Good luck, adventurer! |
/ Who We Are
|
Who We AreSonia is a published writer, blogger, and artist who is branching out into editing because she believes every book deserves the best chance it can get.
Familiar with her own errors, and how easy they are for her to overlook, Sonia realizes just how necessary editors are, and being a writer herself, also understands the importance of voice. Here at Editing by Candlelight, we're not interested in writing your book for you, we're interested in your writing and how good it can be. |

We deeply believe in service and we'll be available to you for any follow-up questions you may have about our edits.

With six non-fiction books in publication, you might think that it would be easy for me to write fiction – wrong. Thank goodness Sonia was there for me. She took my manuscript - poorly punctuated, with confused character naming, and a lack of descriptions for my characters - and made it much better. Her comments were helpful, thoughtfully offered, and always on point. I am motivated to use her input and take my manuscript to the next level. |
Sonia is a great editor because she provides honest feedback. There were points in my manuscript that were described in ways that weren't realistic, which I had not realized. She has been a tremendous help because of her editing notes and I'm forever thankful that she took the job on. I can't recommend her enough. |
