About this Gig

I will developmental edit and proofread your fiction or non-fiction book with a focus on improving flow, structure, and readability while keeping your voice intact. I work with fantasy, thriller, memoir, crime story, and children's books.


What I offer:

  • Clean, organized manuscript delivery
  • Clear in-line suggestions to improve clarity and flow
  • Proofreading for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency
  • Developmental editing for structure, pacing, plot, and character depth
  • Feedback that helps you strengthen weak sections without losing your style


What you will get:

  • Improved readability and stronger storytelling
  • Careful attention to detail from start to finish
  • Clear and honest feedback you can actually use
  • A polished manuscript ready for publishing or submission


I treat every manuscript with focus and respect. If something is not working, I will point it out and guide you on how to fix it.

    She did an in-depth analysis of my manuscript! It was above and beyond my expectations. I felt like she understood what I was trying to write about. I will implement all the suggestions she made! I would hire her again for any future writing projects.

    Six engagements, six home runs. Lots of detailed and useful feedback. I'll steal a word from another user, Ariadne is a partner, vested in my success. I am eager to continue throwing money at her as we continue the journey.

    Excellent work. Ariadne provided an incredibly thorough and thoughtful review of my manuscript. Her feedback was detailed, constructive, and actionable, while showing a clear understanding of my voice and the purpose of the book. She went far beyond my expectations. Highly recommended!

    I've now had twelve orders with Ariadne which itself describes my level of satisfaction - initial reads, dev edit, line edit, formatting, cover work. She is my one-stop shop and I couldn't be happier.

    Very bad experience. Repeatedly didn't follow explanations about my manuscript. I basically got a grammar check and some feedback that appeared AI generated.
