You're building a business,
not just a book.
You're an indie author who takes publishing seriously. You're on Kindle Unlimited, releasing regularly, and you know that the gap between a good book and a great one is often in the edit.
You're on Kindle Unlimited and volume matters
You're publishing 2–4 books a year and need an editor who can turn around a 90k manuscript quickly, accurately, and without compromising on quality. Your release schedule is non-negotiable.
You've outgrown Upwork and Fiverr
You've had a bad editing experience — or you just know that your income has grown and your editor should too. You want someone invested in your author career, not just your manuscript.
You want an editor who understands your genre
Whether you write romance, fantasy, crime, or literary fiction, I take the time to understand what your readers expect and where manuscripts in your genre most commonly need work. No generic feedback — ever.
You want a long-term creative partner
My best client relationships span entire series. I learn your voice, your world, your readers — and that makes every subsequent book better and faster to edit.

What authors say
I had the pleasure of working with Charlotte as the copy editor for my novel, and I honestly couldn't recommend her highly enough. She was amazing to work with — exceptionally accurate, thoughtful, and incredibly detailed. Charlotte went above and beyond at every stage, catching things I would have never noticed and elevating the overall quality of my manuscript.
She had made only a handful of changes. More importantly, she told me that the voice was the strongest part of the manuscript and articulated my writing style better than I could have myself. She understood my desire to trust the reader and, throughout the editing process, made sure to preserve the elements that mattered most. She improved the manuscript without ever trying to make it sound like her book instead of mine.
Charlotte was excellent! She delivered the edits on my romance novel exactly on time, and provided great specific feedback along with bigger picture items that were extremely helpful. Would definitely hire her again.
I'm truly enjoying reading through it. I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your feel for language. Your suggestions are thoughtful, and the lines you added to clarify certain moments are beautiful.
Charlotte has been consistently excellent across several very different projects. She is fast, highly effective, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. What I particularly value is that she goes well beyond simple proofreading — she has a strong instinct for structure, pacing, clarity, and readability, often spotting ways to strengthen a section or improve the flow without losing the original voice. She combines sharp attention to detail with good humour and a very collaborative style, which makes the editing process feel constructive rather than clinical. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for an editor who is thoughtful, efficient, perceptive, and very easy to work with.
An editor who actually reads the genre.
I'm Charlotte Mitchell — a copy editor specialising in romance and fantasy fiction for indie authors. My core expertise is in these two genres, and it shows: I know your tropes, your pacing conventions, and what your readers expect on every page.
I also work with authors writing crime and literary fiction — bringing the same care and precision I give to every manuscript, regardless of genre. What stays constant is my commitment to preserving your voice rather than replacing it with mine.
I work with authors who are building careers, not just publishing once. If you're on Kindle Unlimited, releasing regularly, and ready to invest in editing that matches your ambition — that's who I built this service for.
