About this Gig

Hello, so you're in search of an Editor? I believe that you may have stumbled into the right place. I'm searching for you. Yes, you with the finished manuscript.


I can help you take your rough fiction, nonfiction, or poetry to a point where you feel comfortable to publish or submit your work.


I have different packages based on the stage of your manuscript that you're currently on:

Proofreading/Beta Reading: (Proof) A final check of an near-finished manuscript to ensure fact checking, grammar, and spelling. (Beta) Read through your rough draft and write up a summary of opinion and suggestions.

Copy: Moderate editing on more polished works. This includes format, grammar, spelling, consistency, and structural.

Developmental: Heavy editing, usually your first round on a rough draft. Includes work on story and plot to ensure the story is consistent and read well for your targeted audience.


All Packages Come with 200 Word Sample to See if We're a Good Match!
