About this Gig
Are you looking for a book editor who will treat your story with care and help you bring out its best version?
I provide developmental book editing, proofreading, and manuscript formatting for fiction authors. Whether you are writing romance, thriller, fantasy, mystery, literary fiction, or a young adult novel, I will read your manuscript closely and give you honest, constructive feedback.
My developmental editing focuses on: plot structure, pacing, character motivation and growth, conflict, dialogue, point of view, scene flow, and reader engagement. I will help you identify weak areas, strengthen your story, and keep readers turning the pages.
I also proofread for grammar, spelling, punctuation, clarity, and consistency, so your manuscript reads smoothly and professionally. For authors who need a polished final document, I can format your manuscript with clean headings, spacing, and chapter structure.
You will receive an annotated manuscript with clear comments, practical suggestions, and honest feedback delivered respectfully. My goal is not to change your voice but to help your story connect with readers.

FAQ
What is the difference between developmental editing and proofreading?
Developmental editing focuses on your story's big picture, including plot, pacing, character development, conflict, dialogue, point of view, and overall structure. Proofreading focuses on grammar, spelling, punctuation, clarity, and consistency.
What genres do you edit?
I edit fiction manuscripts, including romance, thriller, mystery, fantasy, science fiction, literary fiction, young adult, and general fiction. If your book falls outside these genres, please message me with a short description before ordering, and I will let you know whether I am the right fit.
What do I need to send you before you start?
Please send your manuscript in Word format, along with your book’s genre, target audience, word count, and any specific concerns you want me to focus on. If your manuscript is longer than the word count included in your chosen package, message me first so I can create a custom offer.
