FAQ
Do you edit fiction?
NO. This service is for nonfiction only. I edit business, self-help, psychology, and technology. For other nonfiction topics, please contact me so I can ensure I can confidently edit your content.
Does proofreading or copy editing change my writing style?
No. Copy editing focuses on correctness and clarity, not voice. I will flag inconsistencies, errors, and ambiguities, but your sentence rhythms and word choices remain yours. Suggestions will be made using the Word Track Changes feature.
How do you maintain my authentic voice?
Your voice is shaped by your choice of vocabulary, typical sentence structure, rhythm, and tone. I will work with you to tease them out while ensuring your expertise shines. Your voice will be clearer and more engaging, not replaced.
Can you guarantee my manuscript will be accepted by a publisher?
I can only promise you perfectly transformed content with - for standard and premium packages only - suggestions on how to write with flair. Publishing decisions depend on many factors, including market fit, timing, and publisher preferences.
How does the process work from start to finish?
1. Please send me your document 2. Also, send me your goals for the document and any concerns you have about your writing. 3. I will confirm I understand your brief (or ask additional questions if necessary) 4. I will return your document (or first draft) within the agreed timescale of the GIG
