About this Gig

it's Matilda at your service. I'm a native English speaker and a book editor (copy editor) who pays meticulous attention to detail and performs her role exceptionally. Having over 20 years of experience editing and proofreading various genres of books put me in a position to know the qualities of good fiction books.

 

A good fiction book should have:

  • Complex plot
  • Concealed narrative
  • Climax
  • Proper descriptions
  • Proper punctuation
  • Character-tailored narratives
  • Etc.

I correct:

  • Spelling
  • Grammatical & punctuation errors, &
  • Poor sentence structure.

I enhance:

  • Readability
  • Clarity
  • Flow, &
  • Consistency.

 I also check:

  • Incorrect verb tenses, &
  • Ensure consistency with the rules of concord.

I'm here to help you proofread your book and produce copies worthy of publication. This may involve some rewriting of sentences and, occasionally, some paragraphs.

This Gig is for copyediting, which many construe as proofreading or book editing. Please, choose the correct package that suits your word. If your word count exceeds my packages, contact me.


Thanks.

    At first the communicaton was fluid then she disappeared. An update on the late delivery was sought, but there was no response until much later. I did not receive the delivery even after she asked for an extension. She was contacted and asked for a partial refund or cancellation for a full refund, and...

    I caught several typos that should have been caught. I would like a second look over of the book. One thing I liked was putting the book in book format.

    Working with Matilda on my book was an absolute pleasure. She brought a sharp editorial eye and a deep understanding of narrative flow that truly elevated my manuscript.
