I will proofread and copyedit your fiction manuscript
Copy Editor and Beta Reader for Fiction and Content
About this Gig
"Good prose is like a windowpane." - George Orwell
Stories are not meant to feel mechanical. A reader should never stop because a sentence feels awkward, repetitive, unclear, or emotionally flat.
I offer manual copy editing and proofreading for fiction, fantasy, fanfiction, short stories, and narrative-driven writing while preserving your original voice and emotional tone.
I dont believe editing should erase a writers style. My goal is to make your writing read cleaner, flow better, and feel more immersive without making it sound like someone else wrote it.
What I edit:
- grammar and punctuation
- sentence flow and readability
- awkward or repetitive phrasing
- clarity, pacing, and consistency
- line-level refinement for storytelling
Youll receive:
-a marked-up copy with tracked edits
-a clean, edited version
-honest editorial feedback when needed
I work especially well with:
Fantasy, Adventure, Horror/Thriller, Literary Fiction, and Fanfiction
Good editing should strengthen your voice, not replace it.

FAQ
What type of editing do you provide?
Depending on the package, I provide proofreading, copy editing, line editing, and readability-focused feedback for fiction and narrative writing. My editing focuses on clarity, sentence flow, pacing, consistency, grammar, and preserving the emotional tone of the story.
Which genres do you work with?
I mainly work with fiction and narrative-driven writing, especially fantasy, adventure, literary fiction, horror/thriller, romance, and fanfiction. I work best with emotionally immersive stories that need stronger clarity, flow, and readability.
Which style guide or English version do you use?
I primarily edit using CMOS-inspired conventions and can work with both British and American English depending on your preference. If you already follow a specific style or formatting choice, I can adapt the edit to match your manuscript’s needs.
Will you rewrite my story or change my voice?
No. My goal is to strengthen clarity, flow, and readability while preserving your original tone, atmosphere, and storytelling voice.
Do you provide tracked edits and comments?
Yes. You’ll receive a marked-up version with tracked edits/comments, along with a clean edited copy. I also leave feedback where needed to explain major changes, readability concerns, or places where flow and clarity can be improved further.
Can you edit larger projects or custom word counts?
Yes. If your manuscript is longer than the listed package limits, feel free to message me before ordering. I can create custom offers for larger projects, multiple chapters, ongoing editing work, or different delivery timelines depending on the project scope.
Is my manuscript kept private and confidential?
Yes, 100% — your manuscript stays completely private and confidential. I never outsource projects, reuse client work, or share manuscripts with anyone else. All editing is done manually by me, and your work remains yours entirely.
What file formats do you work with?
I currently work with Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) and Google Docs files.
Do you offer sample edits?
For larger manuscripts, I can review a short excerpt before the order so we can make sure the editing style is the right fit.
