About this Gig

You're novel's "done." Or, at least, it's drafted. You've even gone through it a couple times, re-wording, restructuring, and rewriting here and there. But you need a pair of fresh eyes to look over it and catch all the weird little things you didn't realize you were doing with your writing.


Does this sound like you? Then keep reading.


I'll find those weird little things for you, be they spelling mistakes, usage errors, sentence structure that makes your grandma's knees seem strong by comparison, or consistency problems (do your character's eyes really change color all the time, or did you just forget what color they were at the beginning of the story?).


If your story is a tarnished silver candlestick, let's throw some polish on it together.


Shall we begin?

    We just wrapped Part 6, and Natalie continues to exceed expectations. Not only does she provide excellent, sharp suggestions within Track Changes, but she also took the initiative to clean up all the structural quote formatting outside of the main edits. Having an editor who polishes the details so I...

    Another milestone crushed. We just finished Part 5, and the quality is still 10/10. Natalie has been the MVP of this entire book project. Her ability to polish the text without stripping away my voice is unmatched. If you are looking for a long-term editorial partner who won't let you down in the fourth quarter, hire her!

    We are four parts deep into this manuscript, and Natalie has become my ultimate safety net. At this stage in a book, it is easy for small inconsistencies to creep in, but she remembers rules we set back in Chapter 1 better than I do. She is catching things that would have embarrassed me in print. I sleep...

    We have officially hit a flow state. Natalie just wrapped up Part 3, and the workflow is seamless. I hand off the raw chapters, and she hands back a polished, professional manuscript that perfectly retains my specific tone and style. There is zero friction, zero hand-holding, and zero drop in quality....

    We just wrapped Part 2, and Natalie has officially become the guardian of this manuscript's voice. It is rare to find an editor who can handle the 'messy middle' of a book without losing steam, but she kept the energy high and the consistency tight. She knows exactly when to polish a sentence and when...
