What types of books do you edit?
I edit fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, self-help books, business books, and other manuscripts you have out there.
How do I submit my manuscript?
Simply upload your manuscript in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx). This allows me to edit using Track Changes and provide comments.
Will my manuscript remain confidential?
Yes. Your work is treated as completely confidential and will never be shared with anyone else.
Do you offer revisions?
Yes. I offer revisions based on the package you select to ensure you're satisfied with the final result.
How long does the editing process take?
Delivery time depends on the length of your manuscript and the package you choose. Please check the package details or send me a message with your word count for an accurate timeline
Do you fix grammar and spelling mistakes?
My main focus is on structure and content improvement. While I may point out repeated or noticeable errors, detailed grammar correction is part of copyediting or proofreading, which is a separate service.
