About this Gig
*Please note that I don't accept AI-written or assisted manuscripts.*
Looking for a book editor who will be just as excited about your characters and plot twists as you are? As a certified book editor, owner of Early Owl Editing, LLC, and aspiring author, I'm here to help elevate your manuscript without taking away from your unique voice.
With a book editing certification, bachelors degree with a minor in English, and experience editing epic fantasy, contemporary romance, sci-fi, and romantasy novels, I understand how to strengthen your story's structure, pacing, and prose. I've worked with indie authors both established and debut like Victoria M. Sorenson, C.J. Hawthorne, C.K. Marlowe, and more.
I offer:
- Line Editing: Polishes language, dialogue, and flow.
- Developmental Editing: Refines plot, pacing, and character arcs.
- Line + Dev Editing: A complete, story-level transformation.
All packages include honest feedback on plot, dialogue, and character development.

FAQ
Do you do free sample edits?
Yes, I'm happy to do a free 1,000 word sample edit before you order. Just reach out and let me know!
What do you use for commenting/editing?
I primarily use Google Doc's commenting and suggesting features but I'm also familiar with Microsoft Word's track changes. Please let me know if you have a preference, otherwise I will default to Google Docs.
Which package should I pick for my book?
If you've just finished a first draft and need feedback on your plot and characters, developmental editing is the best package. If you've already refined your story and are looking to improve the flow and clarity of your sentences, line editing is the best choice. You can also combine the two!
Do I need to provide a sample and synopsis?
Before ordering, please provide a short writing sample (1-2 pages) and a brief synopsis so I can get a sense of your story, style, and vision. This helps me ensure we're a good fit and that I can give your work the attention it deserves.
What is the best editing order?
The best editing order goes like this - self-editing, developmental editing, implementing suggestions from developmental editing, self-editing again, and then line editing. You can always get feedback from beta readers too, usually before developmental editing!

I was super nervous to hire another editor for the rest of my book. I found Alexis and I have to say, she is the best! She is very professional and I felt safe having her edit my manuscript. I will definitely have her editing my books from now on. Thanks so much Alexis!
