I will proofread and copyedit your manuscript
Navy Officer and Writer
About this Gig
Typos and clumsy sentences pull readers straight out of your story. I make your prose clean, correct and invisible so nothing distracts from the book itself.
I'm a published author of 11 novels, currently being translated into English under my own supervision, and I've worked with dozens of writers to polish their manuscripts to publication standard.
This gig covers proofreading and copyediting:
- Spelling, grammar and punctuation
- Consistency in names, terms, capitalization and numbers
- Awkward phrasing, repetition and word choice
- Dialogue formatting and Spanish orthotypography (rayas, comillas angulares, cursivas)
- A style sheet on the top tier, so your series stays consistent book after book
I work in Spanish (Castilian) and English, and I specialize in action, maritime and military fiction though I edit all genres.
You get your file back with tracked changes, so you accept or reject every edit. I correct without ever rewriting your voice.
Message me with your word count and language before ordering and I'll confirm the right package.

FAQ
What's the difference between proofreading and copyediting?
Proofreading catches spelling, grammar, punctuation and typos. Copyediting also improves consistency, word choice and flow. My Standard and Premium packages include both.
Will you change my writing style?
Never. I correct errors and smooth rough edges without touching your voice. Everything comes back as tracked changes, so you're always in control.
Do you work in Spanish and English?
Yes, both. I'm a Spanish-language novelist fluent in English orthotypography as well as Spanish (rayas de diálogo, comillas angulares, cursivas). I have published 11 books in Spanish and I am supervising myself their translation to English.
Is this the right service for a first draft?
If your story structure is still changing, start with a developmental edit (see my other gig). Proofreading and copyediting work best once the content is final.
My book is longer than the services offered. Can you help?
Yes. Message me first and I'll set up a custom offer covering the full manuscript or select the extra words you need.
How fast can you deliver?
Turnaround depends on length and package, from 3 days for shorter texts. Message me before ordering if you need a specific deadline.
