months now, having broken the chapters down into smaller chunks to make it much easier on both of us. Her edits are phenomenal and her developmental edits, guiding the story to be more detailed, more emotional, without her WRITING them, but guiding what information should be shared and expanded has not only helped me make this book better than it was (in my humble opinion), but also has made the entire process - writing, re-writes, edits, etc in just this part of the project enjoyable, a learning experience and has definitely helped me improve my writing in general. I can't believe we're on the last set of edits before a full edit of the entire manuscript (which, of course, I'm going to have Lillian help me with again, because she's so awesome and fun). It's been an amazing and fun process and Lillian's communication is top notch. She always replies, generally within a couple of hours, and is receptive to questions when she's made a comment on an edit and I either need clarification, or if I want to bounce an idea for the expansion she suggested off of her. I never once questioned my decision to hire her to help with the edits, and I am more than satisfied as a customer. Thank you again, Lillian!!” —@jormantha on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review“Working with Lillian has been a rewarding experience. I’ve learned so much, felt that my characters and storyline were understood and appreciated, and my work was elevated. Looking forward to working with her again in the future!” —@kristen_zuri on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review“I can only echo others in praising Lillian for professionalism, thoroughness, and insight. I threw Lillian a knotty set of structural challenges and got challenged right back to face down tough choices and strive for a better book. These are great and rare qualities in an editor. I'm very pleased.” —@r8nger on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review“Lillian revised the translation of my novel, originally written in Italian. We productively discusses which terms should remain in Italian language for optimal reader experience and comprehension. Will work with her for my next translated novels. Well done.” —@flscala on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review “I had reservations entrusting my work for such heavy revision to someone, because I was certain it would so quickly lose my voice in an effort to be correct and marketable. *this* is impressive. The readability is enhanced while so beautifully preserving the tone and emotion that I agonized over for a year.” —@rsheldon94 on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review

project! Her attention to detail was top-notch, ensuring every page was perfect. Plus, working with her was a breeze due to her incredible politeness. Highly recommend!” —@ladydesperron on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review“Lillian totally nailed it! They took what I asked for and exceeded my expectations on the final delivery. I would 100% recommend Lillian for all your writing projects! Thanks again, Lillian! You're fantastic!” —@monarch_media99 on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review“Wow, This was my first time trying a creative writing project just for fun, and I was definitely stressed and overwhelmed when it came to deciding if I wanted an editor or not. I read through all of Lillian's reviews and they had fair prices and was easily approachable! I explained my situation to them and that I knew what I had wasn't great, I needed a lot of help to polish it and they delivered far more than I could have ever expected. Just taking a quick glance over everything they edited and commented in my first chapter this was well worth the money. I am incredibly grateful to them for looking at my draft and helping me to understand how I can improve not only this book, but overall as a writer. Thank you Lillian!!!” —@magikraken on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review“Lillian is an incredible editor who transformed my words into something far more than what I could have achieved on my own. Seriously, she is amazing. I am so lucky to have found her, and you will be too.” —@ubucom on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review“I had the pleasure of working with Lillian for the editing and revision of my fantasy novel, and she exceeded all my expectations. Lillian's keen eye for detail and her profound understanding of the fantasy genre brought new depths to my work. She was thorough in her edits, covering everything from grammar to narrative flow, and incredibly insightful with her suggestions, enhancing both the clarity and impact of my story. Her communication was top-notch, providing timely updates and asking clarifying questions that showed her genuine engagement with my work. What impressed me most was how she preserved my original voice while fine-tuning the manuscript to a polished gem.” —@alibekki on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review

based on the immediacy of her replies and how she made me feel instantly comfortable and valued. I couldn’t be more happy with the results of her devoted diligence and attention to each and every word of her developmental and line edit of my very long manuscript. My trust was met with a high degree of commitment and care. Any moments of doubt or query I had , Lillian immediately met with detailed explanation and flexibility where required. She understood my story ( memoir about love) . I’m super grateful for her expertise as an editor and would highly recommend her to any writer in need of high level skills.

I’m Lillian. I’m from Minnesota, and I live in Chicago with my girlfriend (Tris Dávila) and our cats (Minneapolis and Milagro). I write fiction and criticism. All my writing is focused on the American Midwest, its history, its diverse, real-life communities, and how regionality can help us better understand the US-America in which we live. If you’re looking for an introduction to my writing, try this essay in the Cleveland Review of Books or this review in The Masters Review.I believe in community literary spaces. I serve as the Editor-in-Chief of The Bullpen and co-run the Dykes of the Roundtable workshop at the Lesbian Herstory Archives. I also run the Midwest Reading Group at the pub in Chicago. Our next book will be The Battle of Lincoln Park, in December 2026. To get involved, send me an email at midwestreadinggroup@gmail.com. In January 2027, I’ll be hosting a weekend writing residency at Time and a Half Books, in Chicago. To get tickets, visit their website. To support all of this (mostly unpaid) work, I work as a freelance editor for self-published authors. I’ve been doing this work for the last four years and have worked with over 300 writers from all over the world. I’ve worked with novice writers, writers who support themselves completely off their books, and everything in between. If you or someone you know is in the self-publishing world, send them my way; I do offer discounts for referrals and payment plans to make costs more manageable. I work most frequently on queer romance, erotica, women’s memoir, and YA fantasy. I’ve also worked for The American Scholar (nine months), the NYU Art History and Urban Design Library (one year), W.W. Norton (three months), City Lights Bookstore (two months), AURORE (four months, and I also wrote for them), the Writing Center at NYU Gallatin (one year), and various coffee shops (totalling 2.5 years). As a teenager, I wrote for various online-only magazines that are now defunct. I graduated summa cum laude from the NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study and received the coveted Léo Bronstein Award for interdisciplinary excellence in the arts. In more personal news, I love the Minnesota Lynx and Timberwolves. I read many things. I drink a lot of coconut water, and the only movie I truly enjoy watching is Moonstruck. Despite how unglamorous it can feel at times, I do believe that writing every morning is the best literary trade secret. Don’t be shy! Send me a message.

I have edited hundreds of thousands of words, in accordance with CMOS, for clients all over the world. Below are some details on the types of services I offer and my genre specialities. I work best with writers who believe their words can change people’s minds. This means: writers committed to complicated characters, marginalized stories, underrepresented places, and off-beat styles just outside the mainstream. I believe an editor’s job is to help bridge the gap between a writer’s intentions and a reader’s experience. I aim to help your project feel most aligned with your vision, while also ensuring readers can move cleanly through your final manuscript.&nbsp;I work most frequently on queer romance, erotica, women’s memoir, and YA fantasy. Aside from my below services, I also offer assistance with comp title research (one of my top gigs on Fiverr), outlining/manuscript organization, and even occasional ghostwriting for the right project. For all services, I offer free samples of up to 1,000 words. I can always work on projects in installments to offset cost.&nbsp;I do not use any AI in my services, nor do I work on manuscripts generated by AI. Beta Reader &amp; Coach$0.009 USD per word. Feedback and ongoing discussion. Think of this service like hiring a beta-reader-meets-workshop-partner. I’ll provide an initial feedback letter on your manuscript or excerpt (one single-spaced page per 5K words), and from that point forward, I’ll be available by email to answer all questions you have as you revise. Not sure what I meant by something? Have an idea you want to run by me? Want to know how well a certain trope is playing in the market right now? Shoot me an email, and I’ll get back to you within 48 hours. This is a good fit for writers who are just starting out. I’m here as a resource as you work, to answer questions about craft, market, and process. I have more of an industry-focus and editorial leaning than a beta reader, but this service doesn’t cost anywhere near as much as a full developmental edit. This service is charged based on the word count of the initial manuscript. All questions and email exchanges during your revision process are included in that fee. If you’d like me to read and give feedback on a new draft, that would be billed at the same rate, as another fee. Quick-to-Publication$0.017 per word. Comprehensive revisions.&nbsp;By far, my most popular editorial service. For writers on rapid release schedules, who have multiple books ready, or who just want to get their writing out there, my quick-to-publication package is for you. This can best be defined as a deep line edit. I’ll read your manuscript, build my own style guide based on your voice, and edit the manuscript line by line, in Track Changes. This includes changes for style, tonal consistency, clarity, grammatical correctness, and general elevation of the prose. I’ll rewrite small sections as needed in particularly gnarly spots. This is a one-size-fits-all line editing service, and for the right writer, this can be just what you need. This is a good match if you just want an overall polish on the manuscript, and especially if you’re on a tight deadline or rapid releasing. If you’re looking to learn self-editing skills during our collaboration, I’d recommend opting for one of my other services. The delivered manuscript for this service will be ready to move on to formatting. This can also be used for query sample pages. Development&nbsp;$0.022 per word. Developmental editing.Ready to dive in and really make your manuscript stronger? I view developmental editing as a committed collaboration, and my editorial approach is human-centered and voice-oriented. We’ll have an initial 30-minute Zoom call, where I’ll ask questions about your book’s intent, approach, and style. Then, I’ll edit the manuscript in full (or in excerpts, if that’s what you prefer) and be there as a resource as you work through revising. I go all in for my developmental edits, and for this price, you can expect at least two (often, up to six) developmental comments per double-spaced page of your manuscript. I read the full manuscript first and then go page by page, providing line edits in Track Changes and comments that cover everything from character to plot to flow to pacing to genre alignment.I really emphasize actionable feedback in my developmental comments; this often takes the form of guiding questions. I’ll place clear, concise questions in particular moments of the manuscript when readers will be asking those same questions, so it’s clear to you just what is missing from each paragraph. I strive to balance authorial intent and reader accessibility in my edits. All feedback I provide is intended to bring the manuscript closer to what you envision it to be.My developmental editing rate does not include an additional round of proofing or line edits after the developmental edit is completed, as is self-publishing industry standard.&nbsp; Genre Portfolios Romance &amp; Realism See my full portfolio in these genres and some testimonials here. <img width="938" height="1500" width_o="938" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/46efabc7480ee84cbd132a53c82ed5179709fad2d185a879daa684ab0cbb9732/puppy-love-cover.jpg" data-mid="249708845" border="0" data-scale="46" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/938/i/46efabc7480ee84cbd132a53c82ed5179709fad2d185a879daa684ab0cbb9732/puppy-love-cover.jpg" /> <img width="338" height="522" width_o="338" height_o="522" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/be4e2e1e4a86cfffa310498cf27a9e7f89c478556eb81ea3b7b8d46bda11c8d0/7171HSJ3V5L._SY522_.jpg" data-mid="249709097" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/338/i/be4e2e1e4a86cfffa310498cf27a9e7f89c478556eb81ea3b7b8d46bda11c8d0/7171HSJ3V5L._SY522_.jpg" /> <img width="338" height="522" width_o="338" height_o="522" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a9c52ac55399dedb28baa2939b10ab4d11232c8c3e9e78658fa1a6169a3e227a/6163XVFuW7L._SY522_.jpg" data-mid="249709103" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/338/i/a9c52ac55399dedb28baa2939b10ab4d11232c8c3e9e78658fa1a6169a3e227a/6163XVFuW7L._SY522_.jpg" /> <img width="250" height="400" width_o="250" height_o="400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4a907692fe212a81c77795f61dfe2c15e8fdf4c17428ad2b3eb4ddb4d8fd874d/29d1b0f9e5033a5871b1e63e60e9f715.jpeg" data-mid="249709104" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/250/i/4a907692fe212a81c77795f61dfe2c15e8fdf4c17428ad2b3eb4ddb4d8fd874d/29d1b0f9e5033a5871b1e63e60e9f715.jpeg" /> <img width="938" height="1500" width_o="938" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/773b5072830c9e759d760464198ec913b9af97a42d3126ed9edc4f60b14f8b23/being-badger.jpg" data-mid="249709102" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/938/i/773b5072830c9e759d760464198ec913b9af97a42d3126ed9edc4f60b14f8b23/being-badger.jpg" /> <img width="348" height="522" width_o="348" height_o="522" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/82fc28797e5749f71e0c55a9b0aab7a467b7aad8ab36b2ae1541d8bf80830153/81CwP-iX8gL._SY522_.jpg" data-mid="249709101" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/348/i/82fc28797e5749f71e0c55a9b0aab7a467b7aad8ab36b2ae1541d8bf80830153/81CwP-iX8gL._SY522_.jpg" /> <img width="348" height="522" width_o="348" height_o="522" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ac5c3d48be9e4e7a85ae55730efd2fc6f2d9c1ce0df1223a168caaac1e6c2ce9/61v-nEU98FL._SY522_.jpg" data-mid="249709099" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/348/i/ac5c3d48be9e4e7a85ae55730efd2fc6f2d9c1ce0df1223a168caaac1e6c2ce9/61v-nEU98FL._SY522_.jpg" /> It is through literature that we can best come to know other people. Through my work in realism and romance genres, I foster the creation of humane characters, recognizably real-world plots, and accessible language. I’ve worked on realistic fiction of all types, from stories of war and global conflict to stories of family, humor, and connection. Romance is the most popular genre in self-publishing for a reason, and I love to work on projects that celebrate the beauty of human connection. I have lots of experience editing erotica and bring that to the table for spicier writers (and am even willing to ghostwrite erotic scenes). As a lesbian deeply involved in the queer community, I especially love working on queer romance projects.

Through my work in fantasy, speculative fiction, and science fiction, I help writers shade in the details of their otherworldly visions. I encourage my clients to strike that difficult balance of exposition and action, worldbuilding and in-world living. I especially enjoy working on first books in these genres, especially books that set the scene for duologies, trilogies, or longer series. It is such a fun challenge to help a writer set the stage for significant writing to come. I’ve worked on epics (over 250K words) and novellas, vampire romances and werewolf stories, and I especially love genre-blends and books with YA or middle-grade protagonists.

Through my work with memoirists and poets, I help writers feel comfortable telling the stories they want to tell. My clients are empowered and productively challenged in the editorial process, and their ideas are clarified through our work together. In memoir, I especially enjoy working on women’s stories: journeys toward independence, renewed selfhood, and personal awakening. My clients’ projects are grounded in a strong sense of voice, and we use that voice to ground changes to structure and flow. In poetry, I work primarily with free-verse poets or poets who have experience with slam/spoken word. These more conversational, authentic rhythms need a special touch when being translated to the page.&nbsp; https://lillianlippold.com/Publications Mon, 12 Feb 2024 21:32:32 +0000 Lillian Lippold https://lillianlippold.com/Publications Publications Books essay forthcoming in the Middle West Review, 2027 Short story, “Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof,” forthcoming in Scrawl Place.
