I will proofread and edit your poetry
About this Gig
If you have a full or partial draft of a poem or collection of poetry, I am here to help make it publish-ready! I am an editor with a BA in English and Writing and a cognate in Creative Writing, and I have a deep passion for literature. I have experience across a broad range of genres and will use my expertise to elevate your poetry cleanly within your desired style.
Here's what I offer:
Proofreading: grammar, punctuation, typos, consistency
Line Editing: clarity, flow, tone, line rewrites
Developmental Editing: pacing, structure, cohesion
Tracked Changes: in Word
Editorial Summary: outlining strengths + opportunities
Communication: throughout the process
We should work together if...
- You have a partial or full draft
- You want directional guidance from a qualified creative writing specialist
- You need concise, clear edits that provide actionable feedback
We may NOT be a good fit if...
- You are looking for a full rewrite (my aim is to keep your writing YOUR OWN)
- You are looking for a ghost writer

FAQ
In what format will I receive my edits?
The edits will be delivered in two separate Word documents: one track-changes file, in which you will be able to see and choose from my edits and comments, as well as one clean, polished file in which all edits are accepted.
Do you have experience with poetry?
Absolutely! In order to earn the creative writing cognate for my English and Writing degree, I took in-depth courses on writing poetry and editing poetry. Additionally, poetry was one of my first introductions to writing. I was a poet before I was an author, and I still have a deep passion for it!
