About this Gig
I provide detail-driven copyediting for indie romance authors. Whether you're writing about aliens, shifters, fae, or plain ol' humans who love as MF, RH, LGBTQIA+, or poly in closed-door or open-door scenes set in the past, present, or future. I've got you covered.
I focus on:
- Sentence-level clarity
- Light line edits for tone and emotional flow
- Grammar, punctuation, and formatting
- Style consistency and continuity
- Light POV, tense, and timeline checks
My workflow uses inline numbered flags in your Word document that correspond to a clear, organized Excel feedback table. This keeps everything tidy, consistent, and easy to follow across chapters.
With a background in psychology, ESL teaching, and design, I bring precision, empathy, and reader awareness to every project. I'll flag clarity issues, correct grammar and formatting, and help ensure your story reads smoothly without altering your voice.
If youd like to see the kinds of romance books I read, you can find me on Instagram at @mydadsaid_readabook.
As an aspiring indie author myself, I understand the vulnerability of sharing your work. I treat every manuscript with care and respect. Im here to support your story.

FAQ
What made you decide to become a copyeditor?
This all started with ARC feedback. I was simply offering support—and suddenly I was being thanked, paid, and invited back. I saw not just what I could offer, but how to help nurture a safe, collaborative creative space. That’s what I bring to your project.
How long have you been doing this?
I started reading ARCs in November 2024 and have consistently provided feedback to authors ever since.
Will your feedback change my writing style?
Not at all. My goal is to help your words shine, not override them. My notes are designed to keep your voice while improving clarity and reader impact.
What makes your feedback different?
My feedback blends grammatical precision, keen recall, and a genuine respect for the romance genre. I focus on actionable insights that elevate your story’s clarity, emotional tone, and overall impact without compromising your voice.
What qualifies you to copyedit my story?
I’ve read thousands of books, taught ESL for 10+ years, have a degree in psychology, and I'm writing my own book. I spot errors easily and I'm happy to give feedback that’s clear and supportive. Everyone's story deserves to shine, and I'd love to help make that happen.
