I will copy edit fiction novel to fix grammar, spelling, punctuation and syntax errors
Ghostwriting, book editing and formatting for Amazon KDP
About this Gig
You found a typo in Chapter 7. Then Chapter 14. Then you stopped counting.
Now you're about to query agents, upload to KDP, or send to your editor and you're terrified there's a "their" where there should be a "they're" on page 200. I've seen it. I've fixed it. I won't let it be the reason you look unprofessional.
What i actually do:
I read every word of your manuscript like a reader who wants to trust you, and I remove every reason they can't.
- Grammar that breaks immersion (readers notice, then they check out)
- Spelling errors that scream "self-published" (even if you're querying)
- Punctuation that slows pacing (a misplaced em-dash kills a joke)
- Syntax that makes you sound like you're trying too hard
- Inconsistencies you missed (blonde in Chapter 2, brunette in Chapter 15)
- Repeated words, crutch phrases, and lazy dialogue tags
Your manuscript with Track Changes on. Every fix visible. Every choice explained. You accept what works, reject what doesn't, learn for next time.
NO FLUFF. NO REWRITING YOUR VOICE. NO "I THINK MAYBE THIS COULD BE BETTER?"
Just clean copy. Professional polish. The confidence to hit send.
Hit order. Stop finding typos in the shower

FAQ
Will you change my writing style?
No. I fix errors. I don't rewrite sentences to sound "better." Your voice stays yours.
What's the difference between this and proofreading?
Proofreading is the final typo sweep after copy editing. Copy editing catches deeper issues, consistency, style, repeated patterns. If you're not sure which you need, order this. Better to over-fix than under-fix.
What if you miss something?
I'm human. But I use a multi-pass system: automated scan, slow read, focused pass for your known weaknesses. My miss rate is low. My care rate is 100%.
Can I see a sample?
Send me 1,000 words. I'll copy edit them free. If you don't hire me, you still get clean pages. That's how confident I am.
