About this Gig

Welcome to my gig!


My name is MATILDA. I have always been an enthusiast of the complexities of the English language and its use and thus, I've made it my profession.

From copyediting, proofreading, article writing, and thematic synchrony to content analysis. All these are part of a myriad of skills that I have garnered from my years of experience and education.


WHAT I OFFER:


Proofreading

The final stage before publishing. I will go through your manuscript and correct spelling and grammar issues.


Copy-editing

  • Spelling and grammar 
  • Consistency in regards to character, story, setting, timeline, etc.
  • Clarity
  • Accuracy (including some basic fact checking)
  • Tenses, etc.


Line editing

  • Style/flow
  • Clarity/readability
  • Dialogue (style, realism etc.)
  • Word choice
  • POV
  • Cliched language
  • Overused phrases
  • Telling vs. showing, etc.


Formatting

  • Basic formatting services (text and layout)
  • Clickable Table of Contents


I work in Microsoft Word using Track Changes. I'll return two documents to you one with my edits shown in red, and a clean copy with the changes accepted.

    Matilda's proofreading and editing work was somewhat aligned with my expectations, but improvement in delivering closer to what was envisioned is necessary. While she was generally polite and cooperative, a more concerted effort to enhance the overall experience would be appreciated. The value delivered...
