FAQ
Will you rewrite my piece?
No, it's important to me to preserve your voice and to keep what makes your writing YOURS. I do not do ghostwriting.
Do you use AI to edit?
No, every manuscript is edited by me. I tailor my answers to your pieces and your thoughts and needs.
What file formats do you prefer?
I prefer Google Docs because you can track my changes and comments, but will also use doc/docx.
What if my manuscript is longer than your package?
Perfect, I look forward to working with you! Contact me and we can work something out.
Can you guarantee my book will be published?
No. No editor can guarantee publication or sales. My goal is to help you produce the strongest manuscript possible.
What if I don't know what package I need?
If you're unsure, send me a message with your manuscript's word count and where you are in the writing process. I'll recommend the package that best fits your needs.
Is my writing confidential?
Absolutely. Your work and ideas are treated as confidential and will never be shared without your permission.
