About this Gig
Vetted Pro
Hello!
My name is Phoenix Raig, a multiple-times nominated and award-winning editor and an Aurealis nominee. I've worked with independent authors, small publishing houses, and some clients with commercial contracts. I'm a co-founder of Precipice Fiction, a cohort of sci-fi and fantasy writers, and was one of six teachers for the Westwords Speculative Writing course, 2025 cohort, in Western Sydney.
I would love to help bring your literary project to its strongest point.
I offer a full array of services to help with book editing and proofreading.
- Proofreading
- Line Editing
- Copyediting
- Custom plans.
If you're unsure of what you need, no worries; before any order is placed, we'll talk through your project and see what would be most beneficial for you.
After each gig has finished, I'll be available for questions and assistance to help make sure the edits are understood and that you can get the most out of them.
Ask about sample edits, formatting or any other questions you might have!
Do you have general writing questions? I co-host a writing podcast on this exact thing: "Prose and Cons." Available on all major podcast streaming platforms.
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 software do you use for editing?
I use Google Docs for all of my editing. It's a free, easy-to-use piece of software that makes it simple to help clients across a large spectrum of software tools. Everyone has their favourite tool—I find Google Docs to be a good middle ground. If you have questions about this, please reach out.
Will my story be too different after working with you?
My aim is to help you tell YOUR story. I pride myself on my ability to transform a narrative while maintaining the voice of the author. Preserving your voice and the integrity of your story is the number one priority. I'll simply help you make the story clearer and more potent.
What is included in your proofreading?
I'll read your story and clean any remaining punctuation and grammar issues. Proofreading is traditionally the last step in the editing process—it is expected that your work has already been properly copyedited.
What is included in your developmental edit?
Developmental edits focus on the larger story elements. I'll evaluate: - Tone - Voice - Plot/Story Problem - Characters Includes section rewriting, structural edits, and a highly-detailed assessment.
What is included in your copyediting?
Copyediting is a deep clean of your punctuation and grammar. I'll look at your region and your intended market, bringing your manuscript into alignment with the style guide that is most relevant to you.
What is included in your line editing?
Line Editing is a deep line-by-line edit and is most potent after a developmental edit has been done. I'll edit the lines for tone, flow, and clarity, seeking to clean any rough/awkward wording to help the story read as smoothly as possible.
Why don't you offer an extra revision?
I'd love to offer an additional revision, but doing so would grow the prices quite a bit as it'd nearly double the work per order. The editor I worked with didn't include revisions either. However, after an order, we're available for any questions, ensuring next steps are clear and notes understood.
Am I limited to the word counts listed on the packages?
Nope! Those are just baselines. If your word count is different, reach out and I'll make you a custom offer.
