Literature & Editing

I’ve always been
a writer.

I write, edit, and work with books. My background includes journalism, editorial leadership, manuscript editing, historical writing, and publishing.

Journalism

Manuscripts

Mary as a teenager holding a novel manuscript

I began publishing fiction as a teenager and have stayed close to literature ever since. My professional editing background includes Dreaming Big Publications, newsroom and magazine editing, substantive and line editing, fact-checking, source verification, and submission preparation. I now work directly with authors as a freelance manuscript editor.

Prologue

Built around editorial work

I built Prologue around the practical problems I encountered while editing: scattered manuscripts, comments, client communication, project access, and recurring software costs. It is the workspace supporting my editorial practice rather than a separate technology brand.
