About this Gig

Welcome everyone to my professional Book Editing gig!


My name is Elena, and I am passionate about helping writers move their story from their minds to a perfect physical book. I have eight years of writing experience, four years of book editing experience and have loved every moment of it.


I work personally with you to ensure your story is being brought to life by highlighting your talents while tidying up the story, characters and grammar in the process.


NOTE: I do not work with anyone who has used generative AI to write their novel in any capacity.


I specialise in editing any genre and of any style, whether it be a short story, novella or novel.


I focus on:

  • Plot;
  • Characters;
  • Structure;
  • Grammar, punctuation and spelling;
  • Dialogue and syntax; and
  • Tension and conflict.


Throughout your document I will be using Track Changes on Microsoft Word to make my edits, while also leaving comments throughout on where I believe could be improved, or feedback on what I think really works.


Please message me with any queries or special requests, and I will gladly accommodate you!


Let's get started!

    Elena is an absolute gem. I've worked with her twice now and she was my lifeline during a very stressful editing process. Her feedback is always authentic and challenging in the best way. She knows how to push to dig deeper into plot stakes, character arcs, pacing, without ever feeling harsh. She understood...
