About this Gig
Vetted Pro
Looking for a professional book editor?
I have over a decade of experience in the publishing industry, both as an editor and a published author. My expertise lies in romance, fantasy, science fiction, mystery, thriller, and juvenile fiction, but I have experience in many more genres and am open to editing any kind of novel you throw my way.
In this copy editing service, I'll go through your book and edit for grammatical errors, as well as for flow, structure, and readability. This includes tweaking sentences when needed and swapping words for clarity, delivering a polished novel. I use Microsoft Word track changes so you can see every change I make and choose whether to accept or reject them.
I also offer sample edits.
Shoot me a message, and let's chat about your project! :)
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
Does this include content editing and plot suggestions?
No, this is simply copy editing and proofreading, although if I see any glaring problems, I'll be sure to leave a comment. :) I can also tack on what I call a "light content edit" for an extra fee. This includes minor plot suggestions and comments.
Does this include formatting?
No. While I might reformat small things on a case by case basis for consistency (indents, removing double spaces), I am not a formatter. It will be in the same format upon receipt that you originally sent it to me in.
Does this include ghostwriting?
No. None of my services offer or include ghostwriting. While I might reword and restructure sentences at a detailed level in my copy editing service, I will not be writing anything extra.
Will you recommend my book to agents and publishers?
While I have connections in the industry, I unfortunately cannot use those to recommend every client that I work with. I’d be happy to work with you in identifying a list of agents and publishers who you can query yourself. I also offer query letter critiques that will help you stand out!
Will my book be 100% error-free at the end?
Please note that, while I am a professional editor, there is always room for error. It is not uncommon to find a few missed mistakes after a pass from any editor.

Pauline edited a manuscript for my teenage son and provided a thoughtful summary of editorial comments about his writing to help him continue to improve. She was responsive, kind, and thorough. We will definitely work with Pauline again when he is ready to copy edit his next book.

I began with hiring Pauline to do a content edit of my middle grade novel. She exceeded my expectations and identified the problem areas. After making revisions, I hired her again to do a copy edit. Once again, she made my manuscript that much better. I plan on working with her again for future stories. Thanks again Pauline!
