Helping Writers Tell Their Best Story

Thoughtful editing for novelists who want their words to captivate readers.

Behind Every Great Novel is a Great Editor

Liesel Journaling

Hi, I’m Liesel — a freelance editor who loves helping writers bring their stories to life. I work with fiction authors at every stage of the process, whether that means shaping the big picture or polishing the final details.

My goal is simple: to help your words shine while keeping your unique voice intact, so your story feels true to you and connects with readers just the way you imagined. Editing, to me, is like brewing the perfect cup of chai — it takes time, care, and a thoughtful touch.

Testimonials

“Liesel Fitzgerald has been an excellent addition to my writing support team. Not only did she catch a number of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, she also noted inconsistencies in presentation within the manuscript, both in format and in word usage. When relevant, she pointed out a few spots where I needed greater clarity, and in general was a huge help in making my book shine. She was supportive, encouraging, and timely in her responses to questions and comments. She also provided regular updates on her progress, which was a big plus in my book. Her price was reasonable, too! I highly recommend Liesel for proofreading services!”
