Welcome to Demon for Details manuscript editing, and thanks for stopping by.

My name is Faith Freewoman. I’ve been a writer, editor, and occasional indie publisher for more than forty years, and have edited about 400 published indie books.

The goal is to edit your manuscript so it flows with the language, rhythms, syntax and voice that best serve the needs of your  story, and to make sure your characters, plot, and world are compelling.

My specialty is multi-layered, supportive, precision editing, a combination of developmental/content and copy/line editing, with an intuitive, contextual slant . Whether you’re indie publishing or going after an agent or publisher for the first time (or the umpteenth time), a skillful and supportive editor can be a real godsend for your tender, creative psyche, and for your results!

My writing and editing experience runs the gamut from fiction to dance criticism, to all things psychic and spiritual, to scientific journal articles and speeches and presentations by corporate executives.

But my real passion, as a reader, editor and author, is fiction of all sorts — especially just about every subgenre of romance, plus women’s fiction, paranormal, sci-fi and fantasy, thrillers, and mysteries.

I have four gifts/skills that I believe make me an exceptional editor:

  • I can, and do,  “tell it like it is” without trampling your author vulnerabilities.
  • I’ll let you know if I think personal bias may be part of my reason for believing a character, plot point or aspect of your author voice needs work. And then I leave the decision to edit, omit or leave it as is up to you … because, when all is said and done, it’s YOUR story, and you have the final say about how it should be told.
  • I’m endlessly fascinated with the nuances of the English language, and its music and rhythms. I especially love the subtle differences that can make one word choice merely okay and another exactly right.
  • I notice errors even when I’d rather not.

You’re invited to browse this site, and please feel free to email me (link below, or at ) with any questions or concerns. I’ll look forward to chatting with you.

Want to take a look at the covers for most of the books I’ve edited ? Just scroll down…and down…and down!

(Note:  you can’t take one brick out from halfway down a brick wall, and the same goes for these covers, because this collection was assembled and has to be updated like a brick wall…by adding to the top. So consider any repeats you see—like Tracy Tappan’s Wings of Gold series, AE Jones’s Mind Sweeper series, and Tina Newcomb’s Eden Falls series—as a fascinating study of evolving popular fiction cover styles.)
