I will proofread, copyedit and line edit your book manuscript
Book Editor, Copyeditor and Proofreader
About this Gig
Need a careful final check or a closer sentence edit? I help authors improve their manuscripts while keeping their voice and meaning.
Choose the editing level your book needs:
Basic: proofreading for spelling, punctuation, grammar and typographical errors.
Standard: copyediting for language errors, consistency and light sentence clarification.
Premium: line editing and copyediting for awkward phrasing, repetition, sentence flow and readability.
I work on memoirs, nonfiction, self-help and business books, as well as short stories. Unclear passages receive comments so you can review the intended meaning.
Send an editable Word file. You will receive a copy with Track Changes and a clean edited version.
For a full book or a manuscript that needs substantial rewriting, message me with your word count, a short sample and your deadline before ordering. We will agree on the scope and delivery time.

FAQ
Which editing level should I choose?
Basic suits a manuscript that needs a final language check. Standard adds consistency and light clarity work. Premium includes closer sentence editing. Send a sample if you are unsure.
Will you keep my writing voice?
Yes. I will improve grammar, clarity, flow, and readability while keeping your original voice, tone, and message.
What files will I receive?
Send an editable Microsoft Word file. You will receive a version with Track Changes and a clean edited copy. Please message me first if your manuscript is in another format.
Does this include structural editing or rewriting?
These packages cover proofreading, copyediting and sentence-level editing. A review of the overall structure or substantial rewriting requires a separately agreed scope.
Can you edit a full-length book?
Yes. Send the total word count, a representative sample and your deadline. I will quote for the editing level and workload your manuscript needs, with an agreed delivery time.
What does a revision cover?
A revision addresses questions or adjustments to my edits within the agreed scope and original word count. Added chapters or a new editing level need a separate quote. Basic and Standard include one round; Premium includes two.
