I will professionally edit your novel
About this Gig
So, you've finished writing the book! Congratulations! Now, here comes the fun part! Finding an editor! This is the most imperative stage when you are seeking to publish your novel. Agents love a polished piece of work!
Hi! My name's Dakota!
My entire life, my days have been ruled by stories. I live and breathe fiction. So much so, that I earned a BA in Theatre with a minor in English, then went on to teach English at the High School level. Now I am pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing where I have found my love for editing. With my skills that I've learned, you'll know you're getting the best services out there. I will edit your manuscript to be the best version it can be. My specialties are in Horror and Contemporary Fiction, but I love all genres!
NOTE - I do not edit Romance, children's stories, nonfiction, or anything made with generative AI.
I am a human editor, therefore I expect your work to be human as well.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
What languages will you accept work from?
English! Though I am learning German, I am not quite ready to edit or read texts from that language quite yet!
Do you edit any work made with/assisted by AI?
Absolutely not. No work that has been assisted by AI in any aspect.
Do you use AI to edit?
No! The only things I use are my two God-given hands, my computer, and my handy-dandy Chicago Manual of Style.
What is included in your editing?
The standard stuff! Proofreading for grammar, syntax, diction. I look at the flow of your story. I give suggestions on things that could be improved (like plot progression or structure). I also love to leave reactions to things that happen. I feel that those are beneficial to you as a writer!
What is your rate?
I charge a discounted industry rate per the EFA! Current rate is US$0.027 per word.
