About Me
Hello! My name is Ellie Firestone. I'm a writer, freelance editor, and certifiable word nerd with over five years of editing and formatting experience. I wrote my first story when I was three years old, but it took another few years for me to realize that I love editing words just as much as I love writing them.
When I'm not dabbling in books, I love to swim, drink tea, and play with my adorable English Toy Terriers. Incidentally, I formatted the Kindle edition of the definitive guide to their breed.
My favorite word is "hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia," because it means a fear of long words and I find that very funny.

About Fireproof Editing
I started Fireproof Editing because I'm passionate about making words the best they can be.
As an avid reader myself, I know that people want great writing -- and editing is a crucial part of great writing. I can't tell you how many times I've read a self-published novel that had a fantastic story, but I just wished it had been edited better. I can't tell you how many times I've read a query letter that simply didn't do justice to its book. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a synopsis that fell flat due to rookie mistakes. It's amazing how a professional opinion can drastically improve the quality of your work.
Good writing can become great writing just by tweaking things at a sentence level.
A good story can become a great story thanks to a developmental edit.
A good book can become a great book once it's formatted into a beautiful ebook or paperback.
A good query can become a great query just by focusing on the things that matter.
The mission of Fireproof Editing is to make sure that your work is great, whether you're seeking an agent or setting out on your own as an indie.
