About this Gig
I copy edit and proofread fiction manuscripts to improve clarity, flow, and consistency at the sentence level.
This focuses on how the story is written, not the story itself. I work line by line to clean up grammar, punctuation, and awkward phrasing, reduce repetition, and make sure everything reads smoothly and consistently from start to finish.
This includes:
- grammar, spelling, and punctuation corrections
- clarity and readability improvements
- consistency checks (names, wording, tense)
- smoother dialogue and paragraph flow
This does not include rewriting, structural editing, or story development. Light margin comments may be included during editing for clarity, but full written feedback or summary notes are available as an add-on.
