AuthorSpark delivers thorough, plain-language edits, one-on-one detailed discussions, workshops, and exercises designed specifically for each writer. No matter your skill level, we can work together to achieve a new level of writing excellence and professionalism.
Non-fiction Editing
From beginning idea to Mindmap to outline to Book Proposal, we’ve got you covered. And if you have a finished draft, I will polish that manuscript and make it the best it can be.
We do business and technical editing too.
Free sample edit
For both fiction & nonfiction, I will edit the first three double-spaced pages, using Track Changes. The sample includes a half-hour phone meeting to discuss the edit.
Fiction Editing
If you’ve got a first draft, whether you’re a seasoned professional or a new writer, I can help you take your manuscript to another level of excellence. Choose from Developmental Edit, Line-Edit, and Comprehensive Edit. With professional writing techniques, you’ll finish your revision and see marked improvement in your story.
One-on-One Mentoring
I come alongside an author and help you write the book from start to finish if that’s what you require. Or you may want a structured revision plan with a once-a-month check-in. Let me know how you work best and how I can fit it with your plan.

Hey, Teresa,
You’ve believed in this project from the get go, and you have trusted me and taught me so much. I just want it to be made known that I am very grateful to know you and have such an incredible collaborative relationship with you.
I told a Hollywood friend the other day that working with you has been the most intense, valuable, extraordinary creative experience of my life. Thank you for believing.
Cheers,
Alex
“Teresa has the global eye for the big picture—what works and what doesn’t work. She also has the eagle eye for detail so necessary in the final polishing stage before submission. Without fail, her valuable comments and suggestions are offered with skill, encouragement, honesty, and compassion.”
“Teresa Crumpton pinpoints and corrects the usual grammatical suspects, but she also makes suggestions that strengthen the plot, pace, character motivations, and more. She hunts down errors and weaknesses in the manuscript and builds confidence by highlighting the author’s strengths as well. Working with Teresa is a pleasure. She edits, polishes, motivates, and inspires. I value her detailed feedback, expertise, and experience.”
“Teresa Crumpton is an outstanding editor whose
knowledge, training, and suggestions helped me elevate
my writing to a marketable level. I was signed by an
international agent who sold not only my thriller, which
debuted December 2017, but the entire series.”
