About this Gig
Vetted Pro
Hi! I'm a USA Today Bestselling Author with 60+ published books and 15+ years of experience in the publishing industry. I've worked as an author, editor, publisher, book designer, graphic designer, and marketing manager, giving me a full understanding of what it takes to produce a polished, reader-ready book.
I offer 100% human editing, no AI, and adherence to the Chicago Manual of Style. My services include developmental, line, copy, and proofreading edits for all genres and lengths. I also work with authors who've used AI to draft their books and need help humanizing the content so it reads naturally, flows smoothly, and connects with readers.
Edits are completed in Microsoft Word (or Apple Pages) with tracked changes for transparency. Google Docs files are converted to Word at no extra cost. Pricing is per 10,000 words.
I value clear communication, reliable turnaround times, and high-quality results. Let's get your book ready for readers!
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.

The feedback was polite, but it often came across as passive-aggressive and somewhat patronizing. Rather than focusing on the quality of the writing, sentences, or style, many of the comments...
