I’m Larissa, a freelance book editor and literary agent.
With almost a decade of experience in the publishing industry, I partner with authors to strengthen manuscripts, refine their voice, and educate them on the ins and outs of the publishing process. Whether you’ve written a full draft or are just beginning to shape your book idea, I offer editing services tailored to your creative goals, project needs, and editorial vision. In addition to working with authors one-on-one, I also speak at creative writing programs and MFA workshops across the country, offering practical guidance on navigating the publishing world.
As both an editor and public speaker, my approach is honest, encouraging, and rooted in craft and best practices—always focused on helping you grow as a writer.
I am especially interested in supporting authors from historically marginalized backgrounds and helping amplify diverse voices and experiences across all genres.
“One of the most brilliant and deservedly confident editors I've encountered—sensitive, discerning, collaborative, wildly creative, and always professional.”
— Jennifer Baumgardner, author and publisher of Dottir Press
