Have a finished manuscript that needs a little more polish? Im Rax, a freelance book editor with 7+ years of experience helping authors improve their writing while keeping the heart, tone, and unique voice of their book intact.
My editing focuses on grammar, clarity, sentence flow, awkward or repetitive wording, consistency, pacing, and overall readability. I work carefully through your manuscript using Track Changes and provide thoughtful editorial feedback where needed.

My introductory rate is $5 per 1,000 words, with your first 1,000 words completely free.
