Greetings! I’m Mary DeSantis (she/her), Fiction Editor/Story Whisperer. I grew up in New England, spent too many hot summers in North Carolina, and am now resting comfortably in Michigan, where I can’t figure out if I’m a Michigander or Michiganian.

Big-picture editing is my first love, and my approach boils down to “you, me, and your manuscript—we’re a team.” If you’re having communication problems with your book (or just sick of listening to it whine), I’m here and ready to listen so we can polish your story to a fine shine.

As to genres, my favorites are listed above, but I’m open to pretty much anything but horror, excessive gore/violence, twisted psychological stuff, and man-eating plants (apparently, they freak me out—who knew?). Otherwise, hit me up with your lyrical pros, your gut-busting laughs, your heartbreaking loves—you get the idea. I also love working with multiple points-of-view, so if you’ve got those, I’m definitely your girl.

Content Warnings
I prefer to be warned about excessive gore and violence, anything horror-related, and twisted psychological themes.
