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
For manuscripts with over 50,000 words, please contact me

I really thought she was the one to get me thru this short memoir. When she takes 3 days to do her thing, I was excited to see it, the first 3 pages were not corrected, therefore it made my journey in this project so disappointing. I depend on an editor. Very very disappointed. I cannot work with someone that I have to correct. It goes the other way.
