I will edit and proofread your book manuscript
Ghostwriter SelfPublishing Specialist Fiction And NonFiction
About this Gig
A great story or message deserves to be read without typos, clunky
sentences, or inconsistencies pulling readers out of it.
I edit and proofread fiction and non-fiction manuscripts catching
grammar and spelling errors, tightening awkward sentences, and flagging
consistency issues (timeline, character details, formatting) so your
book reads clean and professional before it goes to publishing.
WHAT YOU GET:
Line-by-line grammar, spelling, and punctuation correction
Sentence-level clarity and flow improvements
Consistency checks (names, timeline, details)
Tracked changes so you can see and approve every edit
A short editorial note on any bigger-picture issues I notice
(pacing, repetition, structure)
WHO THIS IS FOR:
Authors with a completed draft (fiction or non-fiction) who want it
polished before publishing, whether that's after ghostwriting, after
self-writing, or before sending to an agent/publisher.
MY PROCESS:
1. You send me your manuscript (Word/Google Doc)
2. I edit using tracked changes so nothing is altered without your
visibility
3. You receive the edited file plus a short summary of any recurring
issues or bigger-picture notes

FAQ
What's the difference between proofreading and line editing?
Proofreading catches grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors only. Line editing goes further — improving sentence flow, word choice, and clarity while preserving your voice. Full manuscript editing adds consistency checks and bigger-picture editorial notes.
Will you change my writing style or voice?
No — edits are made to improve clarity and correctness while keeping your voice intact. Any bigger suggestions (not direct edits) are flagged separately as notes for you to decide on.
Do you also do developmental editing (story structure, plot)
This gig focuses on line editing and proofreading, not full developmental editing. If your manuscript needs deeper structural feedback, message me to discuss — it may be offered as a separate custom service.
