About this Gig
As a published author and a keen student of the craft, I know what it takes to make your manuscript shine. I'll polish your prose to a fine sheen, taking care to preserve your authorial voice and intent.
I specialise in Thriller, Action, Sci-Fi, YA, Literary & Horror genres, and I can provide a sample edit.
You'll get tracked changes, and exhaustive in-line comments addressing
- Word repetition & word choices: English is a precise language and I'm precise.
- Tense errors & head-hopping: I'm comfortable with all tenses & POVs, and will ensure yours remain consistent.
- Inconsistency between British and US English spellings: I'm confident in both.
- Action: Does it flow with short, snappy sentences? If not, it will!
- Dialogue: I'll ensure your characters speak like real people.
- Metaphor: A particular speciality of mine, I'll offer ideas where you can use and improve metaphor/simile.
- Opening chapter: I'll pay extra attention to your all important opening.
- Tone & Voice.
- Spelling & Grammar.

Joe's edits provided me with a very professional evaluation of my manuscripts. What I loved about his work was that he spoke his mind. If he didn't like something, he didn't hesitate to say it and to point out why. I have come to respect his opinion. I believe that my manuscript is definitely a lot better because of his input. Thanks!
