NONFICTION BOOK EDITOR AND SELF HELP BOOK EDITOR
About this Gig
Have you finished writing your nonfiction or self-help book and want to improve its clarity,
grammar, and readability before publication?
I provide careful copy editing and proofreading for authors who want their manuscripts to
read clearly, consistently, and professionally without losing their original voice.
My services include:
- Grammar, spelling, and punctuation corrections
- Sentence-level clarity and word usage
- Consistency in terminology and style
- Repetition and awkward phrasing checks
- Final proofreading for remaining errors
My editing process:
I review your manuscript, correct issues within the agreed scope, and use tracked changes where appropriate so you can review my edits. I pay attention to your intended meaning, writing style, and target readers.
I work with nonfiction and self-help manuscripts, including personal development and
emotional wellbeing books.
Please note that developmental editing and substantial rewriting are different services
and may require a separate offer.

FAQ
What is the difference between copy editing and proofreading?
Copy editing addresses grammar, word usage, punctuation, and consistency at the manuscript stage. Proofreading is the final check for remaining errors, ideally after formatting. If you need both, confirm the draft's stage first.
Do you offer developmental editing?
Yes. Developmental editing focuses on the book's overall structure, organization, argument, pacing, and content. It is a separate service and may require a custom offer based on the manuscript.
Do you edit self-help and personal development books?
Yes. I work with nonfiction and self-help manuscripts, subject to the manuscript's topic and my ability to edit it competently.
Will you change my writing voice?
My goal is to preserve your voice and intended meaning while correcting errors and improving clarity within the agreed editing scope.
Can you edit a complete book?
Yes, subject to the word count, manuscript condition, schedule, and agreed scope. Please contact me before ordering a full-length book.
What file format should I send?
A Microsoft Word document (.docx) is preferred for editing with tracked changes. Please send the latest complete draft and mention any style guide or spelling preference you want followed.
