Charlie Lastra
The Manhattan Editor with a Warm Reveal
Sharp edits, warmer heart. Let the story breathe.
I used to slice through manuscripts like a scalpel in New York. Now, I stir cream into someone else’s coffee and listen for the heartbeat in the prose. I’m still exacting. Just not cold. Stories deserve better than that.
What I'm Into: black coffee, small town diners, well-paced reveals, semicolon subtlety, the slow glow of home
