I will proofread and copy edit your screenplay or novella
About this Gig
I will provide a second pair of eyes for your script or novella. A good proofreader should correct technical errors while maintaining the spirit and vision of the writer; this includes proper formatting, grammar mistakes and typos, run-on sentences and sentence fragments, etc. Think of me like a sound-mixer for the written word: it's your song, I just make sure it's level, clean, and heard the way you want it.
For a more intensive edit, I can sift through your script to see what's clear and what isn't. Are your characters clear and unique? Are their motivations sound and accessible to the reader? Does this appeal to a studio or producer?

FAQ
What types of projects do you edit?
I work on manuscripts, screenplays, pitch decks, treatments, synopses, and most forms of creative, narrative writing.
What’s the difference between line editing and copy editing?
Line editing focuses on style, clarity, tone, flow, rhythm, and voice — the creative bulk of a project. Copy editing focuses on grammar, consistency, punctuation, and formatting.
Do you change my voice or rewrite my work?
No. My goal is to enhance your vision, not replace it. Think of me as a sound mixer for your writing — the ideas are yours; I simply balance the levels so your voice comes through clearly and confidently.
How fast is your turnaround time?
Turnaround depends on project length and complexity, but I specialize in quick, reliable deliveries. If you have an upcoming meeting, deadline, or submission, just let me know — I’m used to working under tight timeframes.
How do I send you my project?
I prefer drafts in PDF form, but am happy to discuss alternatives with clients who have preferences for specific software.
How do you track changes?
For proofreading services, I return a redlined version of your initial PDF. For line editing gigs, I import your script into Highland Pro and use tracked changes and comments so you can clearly see every suggestion, note, and revision. You always remain in control of which edits you accept.
Do you offer sample edits?
Yes — if you’re unsure what level of editing your project needs, I can provide a short sample edit or initial review to determine scope and fit. I limit samples to three pages for screenplays, and ten for manuscripts.
Do you maintain client confidentiality?
Absolutely. All work remains 100% confidential and belongs solely to the original creator. I never share or discuss client projects without explicit permission.
Can you help with last-minute or same-day edits?
Yes — I frequently assist with urgent revisions for pitch meetings, submissions, or production deadlines. If it’s time-sensitive, let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

Gio did a great job. He got my script back to me very quickly with some great edits. I will hire him next time I need someone to proofread.

Gio did a BEYOND-FANTASTIC job proofreading my screenplay! His adjustments were wonderful (he caught so many easy-to-miss things) and his suggestions were excellent, and he delivered well ahead of schedule. He was also incredibly friendly, and great at explaining everything - I would not hesitate to...
