About

Hi! My name’s Sara. Fable Editing is my freelance editing business.

I’ve been around books my whole life. As a child, I was a major bookworm. I wrote my first novel at sixteen years old, and I had an after-school job at my local library. These days I work for a bookseller and publish my own fiction.

As both an editor and an author, I understand the challenges of crafting a good story and turning a manuscript into a publication-ready book.

I work closely with authors to help shape their stories into clear, compelling, and polished novels—while always respecting their voice and vision. With a sharp editorial eye, a deep love of language, and a genuine passion for storytelling, I support authors through the editing process.
