I will proofread, edit, and improve any manuscript
About this Gig
Words are more than text on a page. They carry voice, tone, intention, and meaning. I help writers bring those elements into alignment. I'm a writer and editor with 20+ years of experience in communications, and 9 years of teaching adult ESOL. I've edited and published literary fiction and poetry, and I also work with resumes, cover letters, essays, academic writing, and personal manuscripts.
Whether you need a clean proofread, a polished line edit, or deep developmental feedback, I tailor my approach to the needs of your piece. With a focus on clarity, flow, tone, structure, readability, and authenticity, I ensure your writing sounds like YOUR voice, only sharper and more effective.
I can help you with:
- Proofreading (grammar, punctuation, consistency)
- Line & copy editing (tone, style, clarity, flow)
- Developmental or content editing (structure, pacing, organization, narrative/argument)
- Formatting for readability and presentation
You've done the hardest part. Now let's refine, elevate, and finalize your worktogether.

FAQ
How should I send my document?
Please upload your document in Word (.doc/.docx) or Google Docs. This allows me to provide you with tracked edits and comments. I don't work with PDF files, but will convert them to Word (then back to a PDF if you need me to) at no extra cost. No other file types will be accepted.
What counts as an additional revision?
Each package includes one revision. An additional revision is another refinement after the first revision is delivered. The price is $40 per 1,000 words and two additional days. If your project is longer than 1,000 words, the additional revision fee will be scaled to your word count.
Do you rewrite or create new content?
I do not rewrite entire sections or create new content. My job is to enhance clarity, flow, tone, structure, and precision while maintaining your voice and message. This may involve rewording or reworking sentences or phrases.
Can I message you before ordering?
Yes, please feel free to message me first if you're unsure which package is right for you, or if your project is longer than 3,000 words. I'm happy to answer questions and help guide you to the best option.
