Testimonials
“When I started my company three years ago, I was DROWNING. I didn’t even know where to begin with our social media, our content, or even with our platforms. Aubrey swooped in and rescued me. When we have important documents to submit, I call on Aubrey because she is SO GOOD at editing. She not only catches those pesky grammatical mistakes, but she’s so succinct and clear. This is why we get grants, win awards, and look so awesome. By the way, Aubrey is one of the easiest people to work with and really talented. I wouldn’t be where I am now (reaching over 10,000+ clients) without her help. She is AMAZING.”
– Dr. Yen Verhoeven, CEO at Qi Learning Research Group

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I’d like to send you my script, what format do you prefer?
A: For editing work Word Docs, Google Docs, or PDFs are great. I can add comments to the document for most of these formats.
For lettering work, either Word or Google Docs is needed, please no PDFs. PDFs are difficult to copy/paste from, so they are not ideal for lettering.
Q: What is your editing style?
My goal is to provide my clients with actionable advice that helps enhance their vision for their stories. I do my best to make suggestions without stepping on the toes of my authors. I’m a writer as well, so I know what it is like to work with someone who tries to take over your work and make it their own, so I would never do that to the authors and writers I work with. It’s a collaborative process, but my ultimate goal is to strengthen the story you want to tell.
I’ve spent years studying the structure and art of comics, so I can identify things that work visually and do not work visually throughout the comic creation process. I want to ensure your story flows visually and the reader can explore the story effortlessly.
Q: What is the difference between proofreading, full script edits, or full comic editing & project management?
Proofreading covers the most basic parts of story structure, grammar, and spelling. It requires less time because I simply read through the script and make sure those errors are not in it, along with asking for clarification in any sections that do not make sense.
Story editing includes proofreading as well as looking at the story as a whole. I evaluate the structure of the story, looking at sections that may not fit, considering character arcs, etc.a
Full comic editing & project management means I will be with you from start to finish and includes all of the above and so much more! Beyond script edits, I can look at roughs/thumbnails to look for fixes before the story art progresses, help evaluate colors and lettering, and proofread and check the final story for flow and readability. Each part of comic creation helps tell the story, so each part needs to be reviewed and evaluated to tell the best story possible.
I can also help set deadlines and communicate with the creative team if you would rather not take that on as the writer or collaborative creative team. Sometimes having someone to remind everyone and grease the wheels can make the process so much smoother.
Q: Can we do a voice call or video chat to discuss my project?
Absolutely. I’m available through Zoom or Discord to have that sort of “face-to-face” contact. If you just want to feel out if I’m the right person for a collaboration, we can do a quick 15-minute meet-up to discuss the project.
If we are contracted for an editing project, I’m happy to meet to discuss your project as part of our editing process.
If you just need some time to work through an idea or creative problem, I would charge my creative consulting fee ($60/hr) and require you to book at least an hour. I’ve found in past work with clients, that having that time helps them work through blocks they did not even realize they had. I want to make sure every moment we work together provides value to you as my client.
Q: What are the hours/days you work?
I work during weekdays(US MTN time), and I will do my best to get back to you within a day or so. I don’t work weekends, evenings, or holidays. Please understand I often work for more than one client at once, as well as working on my own projects, so responses may not always be immediate.
Q: What if I have a tight deadline?
I can work with you on a case-by-case basis for tight deadlines, though I may have to adjust my rate. Feel free to email me and we can discuss pricing for a quicker turnaround.
