Helping authors build God's kingdom through storytelling.


Welcome to laughing lily editing services


We are a manuscript editing service that helps authors perfect their book babies. We aim to work with Christian fiction authors in all genres but currently specialize in romance, historical, dystopian, and mystery/suspense.


Although we mainly work with faith-based stories, we do welcome inquiries for secular manuscripts of a mild nature. This means the story would have mild explicit/foul language, minimal sexual content, and minimal drug/alcohol abuse unless it is being shown in a negative light.


If you’re not sure your manuscript fits this criterion, don’t hesitate to reach out!

I had a fantastic experience working with Rachel, who provided a line edit of my manuscript.
Her attention to detail strengthened my writing, and her comments greatly encouraged me.
She made the process simple and straightforward, and I would love to work with her again.
