About this Gig

Hello,I'm Florence Tilly, a professional book editor working with authors to turn early drafts into clear, structured, and readable manuscripts that feel ready for real readers, not just finished on paper.


My work focuses on improving the strength of your writing without flattening your voice. I pay attention to how your story moves, how your ideas connect, and how your sentences carry meaning. The aim is simple: make the writing easier to read, more consistent, and more engaging from start to finish.


My services include:

  • Developmental book editing (structure, pacing, plot, clarity)
  • Line editing (flow, tone, sentence strength)
  • Copy editing (grammar, punctuation, consistency)
  • Proofreading (final polish before publishing)


Genres I work with:

Fantasy, fiction, romance, self-help, cookbook, and general nonfiction.


Why work with me:

  • Careful, detailed edits
  • Clear and honest feedback
  • Consistent tone and voice preservation
  • Fast delivery and reliable communication


If you need a professional editor to refine your manuscript and prepare it for publishing, Im ready to help.

    Florence carefully reorganized scenes, strengthened the world-building flow, and helped balance the romance with the larger fantasy plot perfectly. The story feels far more cohesive now, and the pacing between action, emotion, and lore is much smoother. Her suggestions were smart, professional, and clearly...

    Florence is an amazing editor and beta reader! I contacted her before I started working on my novel and not only was she patient as I wrote it, but she gave in-depth feedback chapter by chapter and identified 3 key development edits that would tighten my book and make it ready for querying. She also...
