About this Gig
I have been a professional US-based editor on Fiverr since 2014 and have completed over 3500 orders. Message me directly with any questions, I am highly responsive.
I immerse myself in your project while I do a manual edit, using Microsoft Word's Track Changes features to show my work. I use industry-standard references that include The Chicago Manual of Style and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
I help to polish and perfect your text so your readers are impressed by what you have to say instead of being distracted by mistakes and common errors. As an avid Kindle user, I read constantly and am often distracted by common spelling and word usage errors that would have been eliminated in my work.
I will:
· Correct errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar
· Analyze word usage
· Fact check
· Improve general flow and style
· Provide valuable feedback
· Check for overall consistency
Your delivery will include:
· One edited copy with Microsoft Word redlining/tracked changes and notes.
· One clean copy with all the changes accepted.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't do any formatting work or revisions.

Style guide:
