Editing Services with Eva Pohler, Ph.D., USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

With a Ph.D. in English Literature, over thirty years of experience teaching literature and writing at the university level, and over forty-five novels published, I bring both a scholar’s insight and a storyteller’s intuition to every manuscript I edit.

 

Whether you're polishing a debut novel or refining your hundredth, I’m here to help you make your story shine.

And, as a multi-genre author and reader, I'm delighted to work with any genre (on any spice or horror level), including non-fiction.

Why Work With Me?
  • Academic Expertise: I’ve taught literature, composition, and creative writing at the university level for over three decades.

  • Author Experience: I’ve published over 45 novels across genres, so I understand the writing process inside and out.

  • Supportive Editing Style: I believe in constructive, empowering feedback. My goal is not to rewrite your work, but to help you tell your story in your voice—only stronger.

  • My turn-around time is 2 weeks.
