About this Gig

Hi there! Im Emily. I provide copy and line editing for full-length fiction manuscripts, working with indie authors who want their writing to read clearly, smoothly, and professionally without losing their voice.


If youre writing a character-driven or atmospheric story, I focus on strengthening whats already there rather than rewriting it into something its not.


My editing stays at the sentence level. Youll see improvements in:


  • Clarity and readability
  • Sentence flow and rhythm
  • Grammar and punctuation
  • Word choice and phrasing
  • Consistency
  • Reductions in repetition and overwriting


I follow CMOS and provide a tracked-changes file and a clean copy.

I typically work with novels (60k-100k words).


I'm happy to provide a short sample edit so you can see if the approach feels right.

Send your word count, genre, and a bit about your project, and we'll figure out the best next step together.

    Working with Emily was an amazing experience. She did copy/line edits on my debut novel, and even though I was nervous about working with anyone, she exceeded all my expectations. Emily was patient and kind, and her work was detailed and encouraging. I learned a lot working with her, and I would recommend...

    She delivered excellent work from start to finish. Their attention to detail was clear in every aspect of the project, and they made sure nothing was overlooked.

    Emily highlighted issues in my manuscript that others had missed and took time in giving thoughtful answers to my questions. Her responses were quick and insightful. I look forward to working with Emily on future projects. I highly recommend her.
