RED LEAF WORD SERVICES
Editing and proofreading for authors of plant-themed fiction and nonfiction.
Editing for authors of speculative fiction with complex worlds and large casts.
When you want to:
Collaborate with a subject specialist
Ensure consistency throughout your world, series, and cast
Your green thumb has been planted on the keyboard drafting the garden-themed adventure in your head. With all of the horticulture references, you seek a fiction editor with plant knowledge.
Your gardening how-to book is finally drafted and now you need a garden-savvy copyeditor to make it publish-ready.
Beta readers have said your fantasy novel's cast is too large, or the world is too complex for them to follow. It's all part of your series though, so you want an editor who can manage many threads and family trees.
You have come to the right place!
Hi there! I'm Aime, a professional editor and horticulturist.
I know the many languages of plants and their culture.
You can be confident I understand you and your work.
Enlist The Narrative Gardener
Working with plants requires observation of the smallest details and the capacity to recall them across seasons.
This means keeping your complex story elements consistent is my superpower.
...I am so thankful I found her and that she was willing to step in at the last minute. The work she did was amazing! Very friendly and open communication.

Editing for Fiction Authors
Your draft is done. Congratulations!
The toughest part is over! Take a breath and reward yourself. Next step: work with an editor.
While self-editing is an important part of the writing process, at some point, you need a fresh perspective on your work.
I edit to preserve and complement the unique voice, style, and tone that defines your work. Let's talk about how I can help cultivate your story and grow your craft.
Editing for Nonfiction Writers
Does your nonfiction writing involve plants?
I specialize in reviewing text for the horticulture, landscape, and agriculture industries.
My background as a professional horticulturist, nursery stock salesperson, and farmer means I speak the complex languages of plants, plant names, chemicals, and industry practices. You can feel confident that I understand your content and your message.
