Ember Editing: Copyeditor [Fantasy, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Romance]

Currently accepting new clients.

Hi there! My name is Davy Kent. I'm a Vancouver, Canada-based editor with a deep love for storytelling. The intertwining threads of narrative and character ambition are near and dear to me, especially in the fantasy and sci-fi genres. I've edited over 50 titles.

I provide copyediting for self-publishing authors who work within fantasy, sci-fi, romance, and thrillers. While I do dabble in other genres, you're guaranteed recent familiarity and expertise with those.

I have a keen attention to detail. Coupled with a voracious appetite for reading and writing, I understand the latest conventions in publishing standards. I am well-versed in the Chicago Manual of Style; don't fret, though, as I tend to favor an author's style preference first and foremost during any edit. I'll always blend your voice with the "way it's done," giving your fans the best of both worlds.

I've been involved in writing competitions, text roleplay worldbuilding collaborations, critique groups, author-editor Q&A groups, and corporate and academic editing. Writing is something I understand well, and I adore improving prose when given the opportunity.

I'm constantly striving to figure out the latest conventions in the genres I work in, ensuring that my clients are never led astray with shoddy recommendations and outdated ideas. You never have to worry about the work I do; it will stand up to the scrutiny of your audience, with readers never impeded by incorrect grammar and style.
