FAQ
What are your qualifications?
I specialize in proofreading, line editing, developmental editing, and author coaching. I have been a professional proofreader in immigration services, patent law, career services since 2013, and I have been working as a freelance editor here on Fiverr since 2017, with 1000+ five-star reviews.
Do you proofread non-English documents?
No. At this time, I provide proofreading services for English documents only.
Are you available for a short discussion about my work before I commission you?
Yes, I am willing to speak with you via the Fiverr messaging system. Please reach out if you have any concerns, special instructions, or just want to see if we will work well together before I begin.
If my manuscript can be considered offensive or uses offensive language, will you still edit it?
Most likely, yes. I have very few scruples, although I do recommend you message me first, just to be sure. In the unlikely event I find your manuscript too offensive to work on, I may decline to extend my services to you.
Do you edit erotica?
Yes, absolutely! I would be happy to work on your manuscript.
Do you use the Oxford comma?
Yes! I am a big fan of the Oxford comma (feel free to ask me why!). However, I am willing to disregard its use if you prefer. Please let me know beforehand if you would prefer I do not use it.
If I don't like a change you made, what should I do?
Talk to me! I am always willing to explain why I made changes, and at the end of the day, you are the author, so you'll have the final word. Additionally, I offer two revisions with every order, so if there's anything you don't like the first time around, I'd be more than happy to take another look!
Do you edit religious or spiritual manuscripts?
As a rule, I do not edit religious or spiritual memoirs/self-help books, but feel free to reach out to me if there are religious or spiritual elements in your fiction manuscript, as I will accept those.
Can you edit a name/date into/out of my photo?
No. I am a literary editor and proofreader, not a photo editor or graphic designer. I wish you luck in your search!
Do you make book covers?
Yes! Reach out to me with your ideas, and we'll discuss how I can make them a vivid and marketable reality!

Abbey is a hawk eye! She has a deep understanding of how books should be formatted and is an avid reader which makes for the best editors! It was a pleasure working with her! Maybe I’ll write a second book one day and have to hit her up.
