I will be your professional editor, manuscript formatting and developmental book editor
About this Gig
Hi, I'm Kelvin Andreson, a nonfiction developmental editor with 20 years of experience and 200+ books improved. I've worked with Hollywood producers, Grammy-winning artists, entrepreneurs, and first-time authors to turn rough drafts into clear, engaging, market-ready manuscripts.
My focus is structure, pacing, flow, and reader engagement. I help you strengthen your message, improve chapter connections, and maintain smooth line-editing flow. While this stage doesn't cover grammar, it prepares your book for copy editing, ebook editing, and paperback layout formatting.
What you get:
- Margin notes on what works and what doesn't
- Clear chapter-level guidance
- A focused action plan for your next draft
- Direct feedback on readiness for publishing
- Best fit suggestion

FAQ
I want to work with you, but my book isn’t one of the genres you listed.
I focus on specific nonfiction genres because that’s where I deliver the strongest results. However, I’m open to reviewing certain fiction projects for developmental editing. Please message me first before sending your manuscript. Do not place an order without approval.
Do you edit books written with AI?
I don’t provide developmental editing for manuscripts primarily created by AI in this gig. Please check my separate gig for AI-assisted projects.
Can you review my synopsis, outline, or book description?
Yes—if it’s included in the total word count. For example, a 10,000-word manuscript + 5,000 words of additional material = a 15,000-word order.
What nonfiction genres do you edit?
I accept all nonfiction, with a strong focus on memoir, self-help, business, and Christian titles.
Will you rewrite or make changes to my manuscript?
No. My role is to give clear feedback and guidance. You’ll apply the rewrites and structural adjustments.
Do you edit other genres?
Yes. I offer editing and proofreading for all genres. Fiction: literary, historical, romance, fantasy, sci-fi, YA, horror, poetry, and short stories. Nonfiction: business, self-help, inspirational, spirituality, Christian, memoir, and tech.
Can you edit an entire series?
Absolutely. I can create a custom order for multiple books, and if you mention the series upfront, I can offer a discount.
