About this Gig
This is STEP THREE of my editing and publishing process. Please see my other gigs for the prior steps, or ensure you have completed them yourself.
I will deliver a professional Content Edit (also called a copy edit, line edit, stylistic edit, or mechanical edit) to refine your manuscript at the sentence level while preserving your voice. I'll improve clarity, flow, and tone, and I'll correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation, fixing awkward phrasing, redundancies, inconsistencies, and formatting errors.
You'll receive:
- a Track Changes copy with detailed in-line edits and comments
- a Clean Copy for easy review
- consistency and formatting clean-up throughout
- our detailed Book Blueprint and Aeon Timeline PDF to support continuity
This package is best for manuscripts that have already been reviewed by a few sets of eyes, and it's typically most effective after a beta read and a structural edit. Turnaround time is approximately 1 day per 3,000 words; however, delivery timelines might be extended to account for Fiverr's instant book feature.
See my FAQs for more information, and please reach out before placing an order to confirm my availability.
I look forward to working with you!

FAQ
What qualifies you to content-edit my manuscript?
I have a BA in French and journalism, an MA in publishing and creative writing, and I’m a contract editor for a major U.S. proofreading service. I’m trained to edit at the sentence level for clarity, consistency, and readability while preserving author voice.
What is a content edit (and what isn’t it)?
A content edit (also called a copy edit, line edit, stylistic edit, or mechanical edit) is sentence-level editing for clarity, flow, tone, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency. It is not a big-picture structural/developmental edit, nor is it final-stage proofreading.
What genres do you accept?
I specialize in fantasy, sci-fi, romance, romantasy, horror, thriller, YA, and self-help nonfiction, but I’m happy to work with any genre.
What will I receive?
You’ll receive a Clean Copy and a Track Changes copy with detailed in-line edits and comments. You’ll also receive our Book Blueprint (tailored style guide with tracking) plus an Aeon Timeline PDF to support continuity and revision.
Will you fix grammar and typos?
Yes. This edit actively corrects grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence-level issues. I’ll also address awkward phrasing, redundancy, inconsistencies, and formatting errors.
Can you content edit a self-published book?
Yes. Upload the most current manuscript file. If you want edits aligned to the published version, include a PDF or sales link so I can reference final wording and layout choices.
Do you accept AI-assisted manuscripts?
AI-assisted work is welcome if its use is clearly disclosed on the copyright page. I do not edit fully AI-generated manuscripts. Per U.S. copyright law, work must reflect the author’s voice and include significant human creative input before editing begins.
Do you accept explicit content (spice/violence/dark themes)?
Yes. I’m comfortable editing explicit material, including steamy romance and darker themes. If you have hard limits or specific triggers you want flagged, please tell me up front.
How confidential is this?
Completely confidential. I will not share or reuse your content (NDA available on request).
What do you need from me to start?
I’ll need your manuscript file (Word preferred; PDF accepted), word count, genre, dialect (US, UK…), and any style preferences or focus areas. If you’re using Google Docs, share a link with edit access.
