Welcome!
I’m glad you’re here!
Whether you’ve landed at my site because you’re interested in my books or you’re looking for editorial help, you’ve come to the right place. Here you can find my writing and editorial services. When you choose McCoy Editorial, you’re choosing years of experience, professional expertise, and honed storytelling to fit your project.
About Me
I call myself the “all-terrain vehicle” of writing. With an M.A in Fiction and B.A in Literature, I’ve spent most of my time reading and writing, which has lead to an interest in just about everything. I have two poetry books published with small presses, two novels under query, and essays and short stories scattered around literary journals.
I also write professionally. With years of experience under my belt, I can elevate your business or project through blogs, newsletters, articles, copy editing, and manuscript editing. I’ve worked with newspapers, magazines, churches, construction businesses, and nonprofits.
If you’re interested in my editorial/writing services, check out that tab! If you’re following my writing, I’d recommend following my Substack (@poetrybyemma) or going to the “publications” tab. In my free time, I love to bike, bake, go on a hike, or pet my dogs.

If you’re interested in McCoy Editorial, please follow these instructions when submitting a form:
1) At the top of your message, write the desired service in all caps (ie MANUSCRIPT EDITING). If you’re interested in more than one, please write them all.
2) Make sure your message contains details of what you’re looking for—for example, what your expectations might be for a collaboration, potential timelines, the scope of the project, and when you might be free for a zoom or phone call. I require a consultation before entering into a collaboration. I will not respond to messages that only contain, “I’m interested.”
