I work with emerging writers and publishing teams alike to bring clarity, heart, and polish to every manuscript. You don’t have to do it alone — and you don’t have to guess where to start. Let’s shape your story into something unforgettable.
Hi, I’m Megan — and I believe your words matter.
I created Joseph Editorial Services for writers who’ve been told they can’t, don’t know where to start, or simply want to make their work the best it can be. I believe you don’t need to have everything figured out — you just need someone to walk with you through the process.
Whether you’re a first-time author staring at a messy draft or a publisher juggling deadlines, I’m here to help you move forward — with clarity, kindness, and professional editing that respects your voice and vision.
I’ve worked with indie authors, hybrid publishers, and everything in between. My approach is thoughtful, honest, and collaborative. I’ll cheer you on, challenge your work, and offer solutions that fit your goals — not someone else’s rulebook.

Support for every kind of storyteller.
You don’t have to know the industry. You don’t need a perfect draft. If you have a story worth telling — or a book that deserves a polished finish — I’m here to help you shape it with care, clarity, and expert guidance.
For Authors,
You might be dreaming up your first book… or staring down your third draft, unsure of what to fix. Maybe you’ve been told your writing isn’t “there yet,” or you’re afraid to let anyone see what you’ve written. I get it — and I’ve helped authors just like you.
Whether you’re stuck in the middle or standing at the starting line, I’ll meet you with encouragement, honest feedback, and a path forward. Together, we’ll bring out the best in your story and your voice.
For Publishers,
If you’re a small press or hybrid publisher looking for dependable editorial support, I offer collaborative editing that complements your team — not complicates it. From developmental edits to final proofreads, I provide professional service, quick turnarounds, and clear communication at every step.
Your authors get the care they deserve. Your titles get the polish they need. And you get an editor you can count on.

How We'll Work Together
Clarity and confidence, every step of the way.
Whether you're booking a full edit or starting with a free sample, the process is collaborative, transparent, and tailored to you.
01
Get in Touch
Start with a free sample edit and a 15-minute consultation. We’ll talk about your goals, where your manuscript stands, and which service best fits your needs.
02
Confirm Your Package
Once we’ve agreed on the scope of work, I’ll send over an editing agreement along with an invoice. A 50% deposit is due before we begin; the remaining balance is due when I return your initial edits.

Submit Your Manuscript
You’ll send your manuscript in Word, and I’ll get to work. I’ll also share your projected timeline and what to expect along the way.
04
Collaborate and Revise
Depending on your service, you’ll receive an editorial letter, tracked changes, comments, or consult calls. You’ll get specific, honest, and actionable feedback designed to strengthen your work — not just correct it.

If your service includes a second round or proofread, we’ll schedule it together. After that, you’ll walk away with a polished manuscript and renewed confidence in your writing.
