Fiction Author
Hi! I’m Lila LaBine. I specialize in paragraph- and sentence-level editing of upmarket and commercial fiction, especially women’s fiction, romance, suspense, and thriller. I edit and proofread screenplays. And I create courses for newer writers.
I’ve been professionally editing since 2020.
I’m dedicated to helping writers feel confident in their work and providing a safe space for them 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, I’m that person! Learn more about me.
