About this Gig

The ultimate publish ready service!


Hi, I'm Jessie. I offer 100% human book proofreading, editing, and formatting. I know how much time, effort, and heart goes into writing, whether its a book or document. That's why I treat every project with the same care and attention I'd want for my own work. My goal is to polish your work so your voice shines through, free from errors or distractions.


I do not use AI, although I'm happy to work on text written with AI.


What to expect:


  • I'll edit your document (.doc or .docx) using MS Word's Track Changes.
  • You'll get two files: one with all edits visible and one clean copy.
  • I'll provide thoughtful feedback and, if needed, developmental notes to help strengthen your work.
  • After you approve the edited copy, I'll format the manuscript, delivering Print and EBOOK copies.


Editing: Grammar, Spelling, Punctuation, Sentence structure, Readability, Redundancy, Repetition, Tenses, Pacing, Tone, Clarity, and Flow issues.


Formatting: Proper font choice and sizing, creating a table of contents, paragraph indentation and alignment, accurate pagination, trim size, bleed and gutter settings, etc

    As a writer, it's very difficult to correct your own work. It's so important to have a capable editor find the mistakes that your eyes just can't see. This was a wonderful experience and I will be using her again to help me in the future. Thank you very much.
