The Author's Editor

About this Gig

Your manuscript may not be getting rejected because your story is bad. Sometimes, agents and readers stop at page one because the writing gets in the way.


Here's the trap many indie and querying authors fall into: they hire a line editor OR a proofreader, then wonder why their "edited" manuscript still contains distracting errors, awkward sentences, or prose that reads clean but flat.


You need both, done by someone who understands your genre and knows how to protect your voice. I don't just fix commas. I improve the reading experience.


What you actually walk away with:

  1. Prose that flows naturally and keeps readers engaged
  2. Zero distracting typos, grammar, and punctuation errors
  3. Consistency across names, timelines, formatting, and POV
  4. Smoother, clearer writing without losing your unique voice
  5. A polished manuscript that reflects the story you intended to write, not just what you managed to type at 1 a.m.


Whether you're preparing to query literary agents, self-publish, or send your manuscript to beta readers or ARC readers, polished writing matters.


Readers and agents can tell within a few pages whether a manuscript was carefully edited. Kindly reach out now!

    This is my second time working with Lewis, and once again, I’m extremely happy with the experience. Lewis provided thoughtful, detailed, and incredibly helpful feedback on my novel. The line edits were excellent, and the comments on inconsistencies, plot issues, and pacing were especially valuable. I...
