About this Gig

Welcome to my gig!

I have always been an enthusiast of the complexities of the English language and it's use and thus, I've made it my profession.

From copy editing, proofreading, article writing and thematic synchrony to content analysis. All these are part of a myriad of skills that I have garnered from years of experience and education.


Copy-editing


  • Spelling and grammar 
  • Consistency in regards to character, story, setting, timeline, etc.
  • Clarity
  • Accuracy (including some basic fact checking)
  • Tenses, etc.


Line editing


  • Style/flow
  • Clarity/readability
  • Dialogue (style, realism etc.)
  • Word choice
  • POV
  • Cliched language
  • Overused phrases
  • Telling vs. showing
  • And more


Formatting

  • Basic formatting services (text and layout)


I work in Microsoft Word using Track Changes. I'll return two documents to you one with my edits shown in red, and a clean copy with the changes accepted.


I will edit any genre of fiction, but my personal favorites to edit are romance, young adult, historical, thriller, and science fiction.
