Hi! I’m Tracy Finistrella: professional proofreader, copyeditor, and lifelong lover of stories.

 

While I’ve always enjoyed fiction of many kinds, my professional focus is romance. I work with indie and traditionally published romance authors across a wide range of subgenres, helping them prepare manuscripts that are polished, professional, and ready for devoted readers.

 

Romance readers are passionate and they notice everything. A misplaced comma or awkward sentence can pull them out of an otherwise unforgettable love story. My role is to ensure nothing distracts from the emotional journey you’ve so carefully created.

 

I combine technical precision with a deep respect for author voice. My edits are thorough but never heavy-handed. Your story remains unmistakably yours: just cleaner, smoother, and stronger.

 

I work with both emerging and established authors, whether you’re publishing your debut novel or adding another title to your growing backlist.

 

Originally from Central New York, I now call the western U.S. home. When I’m not editing, you’ll find me curled up with a good book, a strong cup of coffee, and my sweet dog, Snuffy.

 

If you’re ready to polish your pages and captivate your readers, I’d love to connect. I offer a free sample edit of your first three chapters so you can see how I work before committing.
