About this Gig
You've poured months into your novel. Don't let a hidden plot hole or clunky prose ruin your launch.
30+ manuscripts professionally edited across indie and platform clients. Rated 5-stars on Fiverr. I provide 100% human, deep-dive fiction editing. NO AI. I protect your voice while making your book unputdownable.
I read your prose aloud to catch rhythm breaks that software misses.
My 3-Step Process:
Developmental: I read your entire manuscript and pinpoint where the structure breaks down, where pacing drags, and where character motivations stop making sense. I identify the exact spots where your reader might put down the book, then give you a detailed Editorial Letter to fix them.
Line Edit: I refine sentence rhythm, voice, and "show, don't tell." Every paragraph must earn its place on the page.
Copy Edit: Rigorous grammar, syntax, and consistency check for KDP-ready polish.
Genres: Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Steamy Romance, Thriller, YA/NA, Literary.
To maintain 100% human quality, I only accept 5 full manuscripts this month.
Not sure what your book needs? Message me NOW for a FREE 1-page 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
What is the difference between Developmental, Line, and Copy Editing?
Developmental looks at the "big picture" (plot, pacing, character arcs). Line Editing refines the flow, voice, and sentence rhythm (my Acoustic Blueprinting specialty). Copy Editing fixes grammar, punctuation, and consistency. You can choose one stage or bundle them for a comprehensive polish!
Do you use AI for editing?
Absolutely not. I am a 100% human editor. My theater background and mentoring experience allow me to understand nuance, emotion, and rhythm in a way AI cannot. Your unique voice will always be preserved.
I’m not sure which editing stage my book needs. Can you help?
Yes! This is where my mentorship approach comes in. Please message me with your genre, word count, and a short sample (1–2 pages). I’ll read it and recommend whether you need a structural deep-dive (Developmental) or a stylistic polish (Line/Copy).
Do you edit all genres listed in your gig?
Yes! I specialize in Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance (including Steamy), Thriller, YA/NA, and Literary Fiction. If you have a niche sub-genre, just message me first so I can confirm I’m the right fit for your specific style.
What format do you deliver the edits in?
You will receive two files: A Tracked-Changes Word Document so you can see every suggestion and accept/reject them easily. A detailed Editorial Letter summarizing big-picture feedback, strengths, and areas for improvement.
