Quality Editing Services & Individual Attention
With the rise of assembly-line editing services, it’s easy for your manuscript to become just another number. The words on the page are all that matter, and the context of the authorial vision is lost.

I’m Victoria, the founder and owner of Blue Pen. This thing started with me and a laptop. I love editing, and I love working with authors. I’m a writer too, so I know how cool we are. I want to give my authors the world, and so I’ve allowed Blue Pen to grow and change with the needs of my clients.
Because of our exceptionally skilled editorial team, Blue Pen is able to offer the fast turnaround times of bigger companies—where authors won’t receive the care they do here. I handpicked each member of the Blue Pen team, and I would trust each of them with my own work. Plus, I oversee and monitor each edit, making sure that everything stands up to the Blue Pen standard.
Your time with Blue Pen doesn’t end with an edited manuscript in your inbox. I want to help you learn and become a better writer. I’m here to answer questions and to support your career in any way I can, and you can always contact me with problems or to celebrate big moments. (And I hope you do!)
I created Blue Pen because I love books. I spend my days editing manuscripts and writing my own, and I pass evenings reading paperbacks on my porch. I contribute to this wonderful world by helping manuscripts reach their full potential and bringing them closer to readers.
I would love to be part of your book’s journey.

Someone who loved words as much as I, and wouldn't hold back when things got in the way of the story. Victoria is quick in her responses, effective in her comments, encouraging in her style. A pleasure to work with.
