Welcome!
I am Denise Leora Madre, an editor with a degree in English, a mild addiction to Pride and Prejudice fanfiction, and a passion for writing.
Armed with a decade of experience and the Oxford comma, I founded Prose without Thorns to help rising and returning authors uncover their best work. I offer editing services, manuscript evaluations, sensitivity reading, and project consultations to ensure your vision comes to life on the page. I have worked on more than one hundred writing projects and would be delighted to learn about yours.
My 2027 calendar opens shortly, and I will take clients from completed forms first, so click the link for access to the main form.
If you’re interested in a Project Consultation right now, click this link, and I’ll reply shortly.
In either case, I look forward to hearing from you!
