Book Typesetter, Fiction Editor
About this Gig
Struggling to know if your memoir or novel is actually ready, or just finished?
Finishing a draft and knowing it's ready to publish are two different things. Most manuscripts that get rejected or flop after self-publishing aren't badly written, they're published before the story, structure, and prose have been properly worked through. That's why I help.
I'm Freedom, and I work with fiction and memoir writers who want publishing house quality edits, not a first draft with a spell check run on it.
Here's what's included:
A full Developmental edit (plot, structure, pacing, character/emotional arc)
Line and copyedit for clarity, flow, grammar, and consistency
Book proofreading
Editorial letter breaking down what's working and what needs attention
Unlimited rounds of revisions (standard & premium)
Formatting:
Paperback and kindle formatting
Customized layouts
Delivery in both Word and print-ready PDF
Recommendations for next steps
Send me a message with your genre, wordcount, and your goal. I'll hand you a free sample edit with real feedback on what's working and what's not, before we get fully started.
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's the difference between developmental editing and proofreading?
Dev editing fixes structure and pacing. Line/copyedit polishes sentences. Proofreading catches typos last, once everything's locked.
My manuscript isn't finished. Can I still book this?
Yes. A partial draft is fine, especially for structural work. Message me what you've got and I'll tell you honestly if it's ready.
How does the free sample edit work?
Send your genre, word count, and a short excerpt. I'll send back real notes on it before you spend anything.
What if my manuscript is longer than the package's word count?
Message me before ordering. I'll point you to the right tier or send a custom quote.
Are unlimited revisions really unlimited?
Yes, within the scope of what we agreed on at the start. What that means practically is I'll keep refining the same manuscript with you until it's right, it doesn't mean starting over with a different book or adding chapters that weren't part of the original project.
Will formatting work for KDP, print, or both?
Both. You'll get a Kindle-ready file and a print-ready PDF, formatted to standard trim sizes.
What's the blurb add-on?
A polished back-cover or Amazon description, included free on Premium, available separately on other tiers.
