I will line edit and proofread your novel or fiction manuscript
About this Gig
I would love to help you polish your fiction manuscript. I provide professional line editing and proofreading that strengthens your prose while preserving your voice and creative intent.
I am known for my attention to detail and for understanding an authors vision without reshaping it. I refine sentence structure, syntax, rhythm, pacing, and word choice to improve clarity and flow. I also edit for grammar, punctuation, dialogue polish, and consistency in tone and point of view so your story reads smoothly and feels cohesive.
While this service focuses on line-level refinement, I also flag developmental concerns such as logic gaps, continuity issues, or unclear motivations so you can address them intentionally. I do not rewrite major story elements, but I provide thoughtful guidance and brief examples when helpful.
You will receive a fully edited manuscript with tracked changes, in-line comments, a clean copy, and a concise editorial summary outlining key patterns to focus on in revision.
Please select the package that matches your manuscripts total word count. Add-ons are available for minor overages. If you have any questions before you book, feel free to message me.

Another short story to edit, and another home run by Maria! Her attention to detail helps this "big picture" author tighten his story, and her ability to not only offer suggestions for improvement, but point out parts that she found value and quality in helps to reinforce my belief in my writing skills. Maria is one of the best!

It is always a pleasure to work with Maria, she is very professional and thorough. She takes her time and addresses areas that need improvement while understanding the theming and voice that I was striving for. My final story reaches its best version only after Maria has worked her magic on it!

I have hired Maria S multiple times now, and her ability to understand the ideas and direction of intent in my stories and be able to edit and make suggestions, not changing them, but IMPROVING them, is the reason I keep coming back. Working with Maria was a breeze due to her proactive communication and deep understanding. HIGHLY recommended!
