Hi! I'm Sandra Herner

For over two decades, I've been helping hundreds of writers achieve their writing dreams and complete their story projects.

I was Senior Editor for Writer's Intl. Forum, a magazine instrumental in helping authors worldwide to become more successful in their writing endeavors. It was included in Writer's Digest Top 50 Fiction Markets for three consecutive years.

My article "The Writer's Secret Weapon" was featured in the "Novel & Short Story Writer's Market" published by Writer's Digest. I was also profiled as a leading editor for inspiring young writers in their "Market Guide for Young Writers."

My personal writing has been published in the United States and Europe--from short fiction to human interest articles and from mainstream to genre, including humor, mystery, romance, satire, and science fiction.

I have provided editorial services as a freelance editor for writers from around the world and for book publishers in the United States and Canada for over two decades. I am one of Reedsy's top editors for series writers of mystery, action/adventure, and military science fiction.

My assistance has helped numerous writers achieve success, whether for publishing a single book to fulfill a personal journey or creating a career as a commercial series writer. 

I offer:

  • Professional guidance built on commercial experience
  • Encouragement focused on your specific situation
  • A one-on-one relationship to help you grow as a writer

The bottom line is that every day I answer questions, make suggestions, and act as a writing coach to my writing clients. It is a thrill for me to watch an author’s ability expand as their novel grows and is born into the publishing world.

I'm here to help you, too!

E-mail me and tell me a bit about your story project. I look forward to hearing from you.
