I will proofread and edit your novel manuscript
About this Gig
If you have a full or partial draft of a novel or novella, I am here to help you make it publish-ready! I am an editor with a BA in English and Writing and a cognate in Creative Writing, and I have a deep passion for literature. I have experience across a broad range of genres and will use my expertise to elevate your writing cleanly within your desired style.
Here's what I offer:
Proofreading: grammar, punctuation, typos, consistency
Line Editing: clarity, flow, tone, sentencelevel rewrites
Developmental Editing: plot, pacing, character arcs, structure, chapter-level notes
Tracked Changes: in Word
Editorial Summary: outlining strengths + opportunities
Communication: throughout the process
We should work together if...
- You have a partial or full draft of a novel
- You want directional guidance from a qualified creative writing specialist
- You need concise, clear edits that provide actionable feedback
We may NOT be a good fit if...
- You are looking for a full rewrite (my aim is to keep your writing YOUR OWN)
- You are looking for a ghost writer
BEGINNER AUTHORS WELCOME! I will meet you where you are with your writing, whether this is your first story or you are a seasoned author.

FAQ
In what format will I receive my edits?
The edits will be delivered in two separate Word documents: one track changes file, in which you will be able to see and choose from my edits and comments, as well as one clean, polished file in which all edits are accepted.
Do you have experience across multiple genres?
Yes! I am both well read in and personally write across multiple genres. I am confident in tackling whatever genre describes your novel!
