About this Gig
Looking for an editor who will make sure that your manuscript is publication-worthy? Look no further!
I am an editor specializing in editing fantasy novels, poetry, memoirs, fiction, and non-fiction books. I do more than check for grammatical errors. I analyze your manuscript, and I help improve its clarity, organization, flow, and readability, ensuring that your readers will remain engrossed throughout.
Services I Offer:
- Proofreading (grammar, spelling, punctuation)
- Developmental editing (organization, pacing, clarity)
- Line editing to enhance flow and readability
- Consistency (voice, tone, point of view)
- Professional critique and feedback
What You'll Get:
- Manuscript edited with Track Changes
- Final copy
- Feedback to improve your writing
- Professional and timely delivery
I manually edit using Microsoft Word's Track Changes feature, giving you visibility of my changes and suggestions. I understand the importance of maintaining your voice while making your manuscript ready for publication on platforms such as Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.
Contact me now with your manuscript and let's get your book published.

FAQ
Will you change my voice or writing style when editing?
No, your voice is the heart of your book. My goal is to polish and strengthen your words without losing your unique style or message. I edit to enhance, not replace.
Can you handle a large manuscript (100,000+ words)?
Yes, absolutely. For longer projects like full memoirs or novels, I create a custom offer tailored to your word count and needs. This ensures every chapter gets the attention it deserves.
What makes you different from other editors on Fiverr?
I’ve been in your shoes as a writer. I understand the struggle of pouring your heart into a manuscript and not knowing if it’s “good enough.” I partner with you to make your story shelf-ready while preserving your vision.
Do you provide formatting for publishing platforms like KDP?
Yes! I can format your manuscript for KDP, eBook, or print publishing, so you don’t have to stress about technical details. Your book will be professional and ready to publish.
What if I need revisions after delivery?
No problem, revisions are included. My goal is your complete satisfaction, so if you’d like adjustments, I’ll happily refine the work until it feels right.
Can you also give feedback on my story, not just grammar?
Yes, that’s what developmental editing is for. I’ll look at structure, pacing, flow, and overall impact, giving you clear suggestions to strengthen your manuscript.
My book is very personal. How do I know it’s safe with you?
I completely respect the privacy of your work. Your manuscript is safe, secure, and will never be shared. I treat every project with confidentiality and care.

I thought my manuscript was already in good shape before sending it to Lucy, but her proofreading proved otherwise—in the best way. She picked up on subtle errors and awkward phrasing that I had become blind to. Her corrections were precise and improved the overall readability without changing my voice. It’s clear she takes the work seriously.

Lucy’s developmental edit went far deeper than I expected. She broke down the manuscript chapter by chapter and highlighted where the narrative tension dropped, where character motivations needed clarity, and where the story structure could be tightened. What stood out was how precise her comments were,...
