I will edit and proofread your christian book or devotional
Book Editor, Copyeditor and Proofreader
About this Gig
Give your Christian manuscript a careful edit while keeping your voice and intended message.
I work on devotionals, testimonies, Christian living books and Bible studies. Choose proofreading for surface errors, copyediting for language and consistency, or line editing for closer work on phrasing and flow.
Depending on the package, I address grammar, punctuation, repetition, unclear sentences and Scripture reference formatting. I comment on passages that need your decision.
You will receive a Word file showing edits and a clean copy. Standard and Premium also include brief editorial notes.
Tell me your preferred English spelling and Bible translation. The service covers language editing; theological review and full quotation checking need a separate scope.
Send your word count, a short sample and your deadline before ordering a full manuscript.

FAQ
What is the difference between proofreading, copyediting and line editing?
Proofreading corrects surface errors. Copyediting also addresses consistency and light clarity issues. Line editing works more closely on sentence structure, flow, and repetition. Choose Basic, Standard, or Premium based on the level your manuscript needs.
Will you preserve my voice and Christian message?
Yes. Your tone, beliefs, and intended meaning guide my edits. I flag unclear passages with comments so you can review the wording and keep control of your message.
Do you review theology or verify every Bible quotation?
The packages focus on language, readability, and Scripture reference formatting. Please tell me which Bible translation you use. Full quotation verification and theological review would require a separate agreement before ordering.
Which file format should I send?
Please send an editable Microsoft Word (.docx) file so I can show changes using Track Changes. Message me first if your manuscript is in another format.
Can you edit a full-length book?
Yes. Send your total word count, preferred deadline, and a short sample. I will review the manuscript’s editing needs and provide a custom offer with an agreed delivery time.
What does a revision cover?
A revision covers questions or adjustments to my edits within the agreed scope and original word count. New chapters, added text, or a different editing level require a separate quote.
Does this include structural editing or rewriting?
These packages focus on proofreading, copyediting and sentence-level editing. A review of your book's overall structure or substantial rewriting requires a separately agreed scope.
