About this Gig
PROFESSIONAL LINE EDITING FOR FICTION & NOVELS
Is your manuscript "almost there" but still clunky, repetitive, or inconsistent in voice? You've finished the hard part now the sentences need to shine. Most writers are too close to their own words to catch what's really on the page.
I'm a professional line editor specializing in fiction editing and novel editing. I work at the sentence level to make your manuscript editing publication-ready.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
- Sentence rhythm, flow, and pacing refinement
- Word choice and clarity improvements
- Voice and tone consistency throughout
- Dialogue strengthening and awkward phrasing fixes
- Cutting clutter and repetition
- Detailed editorial notes on recurring patterns
This is true line editing not developmental editing (structure) or basic proofreading (typos). It's the essential middle step for authors ready to submit polished prose.
PERFECT FOR:
Novelists, memoirists, and short story writers who've nailed plot and character but want their draft truly reader-ready before querying agents or self-publishing.
Ready for a manuscript you're truly proud to share? Message me today let's make your story read as good as it deserves to.

FAQ
What's the difference between proofreading, copy editing, line editing, and developmental editing?
Proofreading catches typos, spelling, and punctuation errors. Copy editing fixes grammar and consistency. Line editing improves flow, clarity, and sentence level style. Developmental editing looks at the big picture plot, pacing, structure, and character arcs. My full edit package combines all four.
What genres do you work with?
I edit fiction across most genres, including literary, romance, fantasy, thriller, mystery, and memoir. If you're unsure whether your project fits, just message me before ordering.
What format should I send my manuscript in?
A Word document (.docx) works best, since I use Track Changes and comments so you can see every edit and suggestion clearly.
Will you change my writing style or voice?
No. My job is to sharpen your voice, not replace it. All edits respect your original style and intent.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Absolutely. Your work is yours I never share, distribute, or discuss your manuscript with anyone.
