Folded Blue Paper

Hi! I'm Savvy

savvynewest_edited_edited_edited.jpg

I'm a writer, just like you. But possibly unlike you, I have spent over twenty years in the writing business, and nearly a decade managing a Chicago literary journal. Under my leadership, the magazine went from a small niche publication to a strong-selling journal that included top names in the fields of fiction, poetry, and memoir. 

I know aspiring authors can't afford exorbitant rates. So I work affordably, with each author, to respect your vision and your budget. I am dedicated to guiding and forging the craft of newcomers and longstanding bestsellers alike.

I will help you strengthen your manuscript and bring your draft to its best form. I especially love literary prose, historical fiction, and emotionally layered work, but have edited everything from poetry collections to motivational non-fiction to sci fi.​​​ No matter the genre, I work intensively, one-on-one, with you.
 

In addition to me decades of editing history, I have a 100% success rate with clients' positive reviews. I offer full dedication to your artistic vision, affordable rates, and an admittedly somewhat insane work ethic.

I hope you'll get in touch with me, even to get a feel for what I could do to help you achieve your goals. Is this an opportunity you can afford to miss?

Keep writing !

Savvy Thorne
