About this Gig

It's jOHN at your service. I'm a native English speaker and a book editor (copy editor) who pays meticulous attention to detail and performs his role exceptionally. Having over 20 years of experience editing and proofreading various genres of books put me in a position to know the qualities of good fiction books.


A good fiction book should have:

  • Complex plot
  • Concealed narrative
  • Climax
  • Proper descriptions
  • Proper punctuation
  • Character-tailored narratives
  • Etc.


I correct:

  • Spelling
  • Grammatical & punctuation errors, &
  • Poor sentence structure.

I enhance:

  • Readability
  • Clarity
  • Flow, &
  • Consistency.


I also check:

  • Incorrect verb tenses, &
  • Ensure consistency with the rules of concord.


I'm here to help you proofread your book and produce copies worthy of publication. This may involve some rewriting of sentences and, occasionally, some paragraphs.

This Gig is for copyediting, which many construe as proofreading or book editing. Please, choose the correct package that suits your word. If your word count exceeds my packages, contact me.


Thanks.
