I will professionally edit your writing
About this Gig
You've gotten your ideas down in print. Now let's make them sing.
This gig delivers a comprehensive line edit of your draft. Line editing goes beyond simple copyediting to rewrite and restructure passages where you may have struggled to make your point clearly.
If you're an expert in your field, but not in written communication, this gig might be the difference between lulling your readers to sleep and driving them to action.
You'll get the following:
- A thorough review of your piece
- Fact-checking and additional research when needed
- A deep line edit, with passages rewritten and reorganized as needed
- A final round of copyediting before delivery
Sometimes line editing isn't quite enough, and you need a complete word-for-word overhaul of your text. Never fear: my popular rewriting gig will keep your message intact while completely revamping the way it's written.
I also handle lighter editing duties: my copyediting gig corrects errors of spelling and grammar, and smooths out any rough turns of phrase.

FAQ
What sort of experience do you have?
I have more than 25 years of experience as an editor, including a stint as associate director of a trade publisher in NYC and editorial positions at Yale University and Yale Law School.
Can I see an example of your work?
Of course! Behind this gig's cover image, you'll find a document that illustrates how I approach copyediting, line editing, and rewriting. If you'd like to see an example of my own writing, just ask.
Can I see samples of work you've done for other buyers?
I'm afraid not. Ownership of all work done on Fiverr reverts to the buyer, so my previous efforts aren't ours to share. Beyond that, sharing examples of editing work necessarily involves sharing other people's rough drafts, and I prefer to keep my clients' material confidential.
I see that you're from the US. Can you work with other English dialects?
Certainly! I'm from the US and currently live in the Pacific Northwest, but lived for years in British territories, and I still order the occasional book directly from the UK. My Fiverr clientele spans the entire Anglophone world and beyond.
In what time zone are you located?
UTC -7 from mid-March to mid-November. Otherwise, UTC -8.
Do you work weekends?
Almost inevitably, but my availability can be pretty scarce on Saturday and Sunday. If your order includes weekend days, I might ask for an extension.
What if my piece is longer than 500 words?
I calculate my fee in 500-word increments, but can handle documents of any length. I do reserve the right to request an extension of my standard deadline for pieces that exceed 500 words. As a rule of thumb, please count on an extra day per 1,500 additional words.
What if my piece is shorter than 500 words?
My minimum prices are firm: I charge the same rate for pieces of 1 to 500 words.
Can I get my edit more quickly?
Probably. Let me know when you need the edited piece, and I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule. If I'm busy enough that my calendar needs to change to make room for your job, I may request an additional fee for rapid delivery.
Can you edit my web page? Or my PDF?
Probably. My base gig is only for material sent to me in Word, .txt, or Pages format. I'm happy to copy the text found in other documents, but I charge an extra fee for that service, and you'll get the results back in a Word document. I do not offer web design or PDF creation services.

Paul's editing style is amazingly coherent and well-researched. After my piece was polished by his exeptional editing skills, it not only flowed well from one idea into another but also jumped off the page and into the reader's lap. Topics I didn't even think of including were added in the more-than-perfect...
