About this Gig

I will developmental edit and proofread your fiction or non-fiction book with a focus on improving flow, structure, and readability while keeping your voice intact. I work with fantasy, thriller, memoir, crime story, and children's books.


What I offer:

  • Clean, organized manuscript delivery
  • Clear in-line suggestions to improve clarity and flow
  • Proofreading for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency
  • Developmental editing for structure, pacing, plot, and character depth
  • Feedback that helps you strengthen weak sections without losing your style


What you will get:

  • Improved readability and stronger storytelling
  • Careful attention to detail from start to finish
  • Clear and honest feedback you can actually use
  • A polished manuscript ready for publishing or submission


I treat every manuscript with focus and respect. If something is not working, I will point it out and guide you on how to fix it.

    The level of work is very good, would have expected more feedback in line with developmental editing, the editing was more of line editing. Also my manuscript formatting was changed. Despite the latter, the changes made are good and the manuscript is more flowing.

    This order was marked as "late" but she wasn't late. It was my fault. She did an excellent job of editing and would recommend her to anyone.
