Bio

Megan Records has been a professional editor for over 17 years. She edits most types of fiction, but particularly loves romance, mysteries, fantasy, and YA. Editing isn’t just about fixing—it’s about learning what you’re doing right, where you can improve, and how you can grow as a writer. Through developmental and line editing, Megan helps authors make their stories shine!

She has a M.S. in Publishing and worked at Kensington Publishing. She loves: dogs, em dashes, shows requiring subtitles, Choco Churro Turtle chips. She dislikes: heels over 2 inches, doing dishes, early mornings. When not editing, you can find her singing rather loudly to a variety of music and drinking copious amounts of tea.
