About this Gig
I developed a love for children's literature while teaching English for 34 years to grades K-8. In 2017, I discovered Fiverr and used my English writing knowledge to become a full-time editor.
I manually edit your book using Microsoft Track Changes to highlight my edits, ensuring a personal touch and attention to detail without AI. I'll stay in touch with you throughout the process and deliver a polished manuscript that maintains your unique voice. My priority is quality over speed, as refining your book is crucial to achieving the best result.
To keep my skills up to date, I maintain an EFA membership and dedicate time to reviewing the Chicago Manual of Style, Merriam-Webster Dictionary, and other resources.
My services include:
- Proofreading for spelling, grammar, and capitalization
- Copyediting for story flow and consistent tone
- Analyzing key components, structure, and readability
- Identifying confusing transitions and suggesting clarifications
Ready to have your children's book perfected and polished? Contact me today for expert editing and feedback!

FAQ
What does TRS service mean?
TRS sellers are individually selected by Fiverr after meeting the highest performance criteria and consistently delivering exceptional work.
What type of document should I submit?
Kindly submit your manuscript as a single, complete Microsoft Word file (.doc or .docx). I use the Track Changes feature in Microsoft Word, allowing you to view my recommended edits.
What if my file isn't in Microsoft Word document format?
If your document is created in Pages for Mac or Google Docs, please save it as a Word file (.doc or .docx) before submission.
Do you work with poetry?
Yes, I love working with rhyming stories. I check the rhythm and meter, in addition to standard edits, to ensure your verses flow naturally.
Am I limited to the word counts included in the packages?
Those numbers are just baselines. If your word count differs, please reach out, and I'll provide a custom offer.
Will you format my book to prepare it for publication?
My expertise lies in copyediting and proofreading, but there are many excellent book formatters and designers on Fiverr who can ensure your manuscript is visually polished and true to its genre.
What does a revision cover?
Revisions are generally not required since I carefully examine each word from the start. However, if any changes are needed or if you have questions, feel free to reach out. I'm more than willing to make adjustments until you are fully pleased with the outcome.
Will my author's voice be lost if you rewrite parts of my story?
I aim to help you tell your story. Preserving your voice and the character of your story is my main priority. I'll help you make the story more engaging and easier to read.
