About this Gig
Your life story deserves to be told without errors getting in the way.
You didn't sit with painful memories, hard truths, or the hardest chapters of your life just to have readers distracted by typos or clunky sentences. A memoir lives or dies on trust one sloppy paragraph and readers start questioning the story itself, not just the writing.
I proofread and edit memoirs and biographies so your voice comes through clean and your story reads the way you lived it honest, clear, and professional.
Here's what I fix in your manuscript:
- Grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors
- Awkward sentence structure and unclear passages
- Repetitive phrasing and wordiness
- Timeline and consistency issues (names, dates, places)
- Pacing at the sentence level, so key moments land
What I DON'T do: rewrite your story or soften your voice. This is your life, told your way I just make sure nothing gets in the way of it.
My process:
I edit using Track Changes so you see every fix
You get a clean copy + a marked-up copy
Every unedited page is a page readers might put down before they reach the part that matters most.
Send me your manuscript let's make sure your story gets the reading it deserves.

FAQ
Will you change my voice or the way I tell my story?
No. I edit for clarity, grammar, and flow — not to rewrite your story or make it sound like someone else wrote it. Your voice, your memories, your way of telling it stays exactly as you intended.
What's the difference between editing a memoir and editing fiction?
Memoirs need careful handling of real names, timelines, and sensitive material — consistency matters more since readers expect factual accuracy, not just a good story. I check for continuity across real events, not just plot logic.
Can you help if I'm writing about difficult or painful experiences?
Yes. I work with sensitivity on difficult material, and I focus purely on the writing and structure, not judgment of the content. Your story is yours to tell, and my job is to help it read clearly.
What file formats do you accept?
Word documents (.docx) work best since I use Track Changes so you can see every edit. Google Docs also work — just share edit access.
Do you offer developmental feedback, or just line-level editing?
This gig covers proofreading and line editing. If you need feedback on structure, pacing, or which memories to include, message me before ordering — I can advise on the right service for where your manuscript is at.
Is my manuscript confidential?
Absolutely. Your work is kept private and never shared.
How long does editing take for a full memoir manuscript?
Turnaround depends on word count and package selected — check delivery times on each package tier. Message me before ordering if you're on a tight deadline.
