Copyediting for Authors of Contemporary Fiction

"Your editing was exactly what I hoped for. I liked the opportunity to react to your edits and comments and to ask questions before the final round of edits. I haven't heard of any other editor who does that."

Susanna Kanto Fiction Author

START SELF-EDITING

"One of my beta readers who had read several drafts of this manuscript made the comment to me after reading the final draft that they 'couldn't tell what was different but it all read a lot smoother.' Your edits were seamless."

Kelly Piazza Fiction Author

Hi! I’m Lila. I copyedit commercial and upmarket contemporary fiction, especially stories that feature women protagonists. I proofread for Rowanvale Books, a UK hybrid publisher. And I create content and speak to writers’ groups about self-editing and working with freelance editors.

I started LaBine Editorial in 2020.

I’m dedicated to providing a safe space for writers to get feedback and encouragement. If you’re looking for an editor who will listen to your concerns, prioritize your voice, and maybe make you laugh, that’s me! Learn more about me.
