About this Gig

Message me first to discuss custom offers tailored to your specific project or budget.


Hello! My name is Kelly, and I'm a mom of four, author, poet, and editor. It is my honor to help you bring your story to life.


Your manuscript will be edited and returned within the designated timeframe without fail. You can trust that your work is in professional and attentive hands.


Whether you need a developmental, copy, or line edit, my degree equipped me to tackle the the most rigorous editing tasks with confidence.

I come with years of experience in freelance editing, references, and samples.


I take pride in ensuring your manuscript is polished to perfection. I will treat your work with care and respect, aiming to enhance its quality while preserving your unique voice. I'll catch plot holes, inconsistencies, pacing issues, along with common technical errors that autocorrect can miss.


My expertise involves editing romantic fantasy, paranormal romance, contemporary romance, and cozy mystery, but I am able to edit manuscripts across all genres and lengths.
