About this Gig

Your story deserves more than a simple grammar check.


I provide professional developmental editing, manuscript feedback, beta reading, and book formatting to help authors strengthen their work before publication.


I look beyond grammar and spelling to evaluate the elements that shape the readers experience, including:


  • Story structure, plot & logic
  • Character development & arcs
  • Pacing & chapter flow
  • Scene effectiveness
  • Narrative consistency & continuity
  • Clarity, readability & overall reader experience


What I Offer

  • Developmental Editing & Manuscript Assessment
  • Beta Reading & Constructive Feedback
  • Story, Structure, Character & Pacing Review
  • Copy & Line Editing
  • Proofreading
  • Ebook & EPUB Formatting
  • Kindle & Amazon KDP Formatting
  • Paperback & Print Book Formatting


My goal is not to rewrite your voice. It's to help you identify what's working, uncover areas that need strengthening, and give you clear direction for your next revision.


Ready to take your manuscript to the next stage?


Send me your word count, genre, manuscript stage, and the type of help you need, and I'll recommend the right service for your project.

    Another excellent experience. The second round of feedback was even more helpful because the reader was able to look at the story beyond just the opening chapters. Would Highly recommend.

    The feedback was honest, detailed, and actually useful. I especially appreciated that the reader pointed out both what was working and where I could improve instead of simply giving me generic comments. I’ll definitely be using these suggestions as I continue editing the manuscript. Very professional and easy to work with. Highly recommended!
