About this Gig
When a Christian book, devotional, memoir, or faith-based manuscript is written, it carries more than words. It carries responsibility. I edit with that understanding.
As a Christian book editor, I help strengthen your book's structure, clarity, flow, consistency, grammar, and readability while preserving your voice, tone, and the heart of your message.
My services include developmental editing, line and copy editing, proofreading, and professional formatting for Christian books, devotionals, prayer journals, memoirs, and self-help books.
You will receive clear edits and suggestions using Track Changes, so you can review every change made to your manuscript.
I will also prepare your book for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, helping ensure the finished manuscript is clean, organized, and ready for publication.
I do not rewrite your voice or weaken your message. I help your words communicate clearly and with authority while maintaining your voice and tone.
Drop me a message and feel free to request a 1,000-word sample edit.
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
How do I know which type of editing my manuscript needs?
If you are unsure, send me a message with your manuscript or a short sample. I will review it and recommend the level of editing that best suits your book, whether developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, or proofreading.
Will you change my writing style, Christian message, or personal voice?
No. My role is to strengthen your manuscript, not rewrite it into my voice. I carefully preserve your tone, message, convictions, and writing style while improving clarity, structure, grammar, flow, and readability.
Will I be able to see the changes you make to my manuscript?
Yes. I edit Microsoft Word manuscripts using Track Changes, allowing you to review every edit, correction, and suggestion. I can also provide a clean edited copy so you have a polished version without visible markup.
Is book formatting for Amazon KDP or IngramSpark included with editing?
Formatting can be included depending on the package you select or added to your order if needed. I can prepare your manuscript for a clean, professional print layout that meets the requirements of Amazon KDP and IngramSpark.
Can I see a sample of your editing before placing an order?
Yes. You can request a complimentary sample edit of up to 1,000 words. This allows you to see my editing approach and how I handle your voice and message before deciding on the full manuscript.
