About this Gig
Have a manuscript that's ready for a final polish? I'd love to help! I offer proofreading and copy editing for YA and adult fiction of all genres, with a special love for paranormal romance, dark romance, high-stakes fantasy, and dystopian fiction.
Proofreading: Spelling, typos, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, missing/repeated words, formatting, and consistency.
Copy Editing: Grammar, sentence structure, clarity, readability, word choice, repetition, consistency, and continuity.
Copy Edit + Final Proofread: Combines both packages! I'll copy edit your manuscript first, then send it back for you to review and revise. Once you're finished, send it back to me for a final proofreading pass to catch any remaining errors.
I use Microsoft Word's Track Changes and Comments so you can easily see my edits and suggestions while keeping your voice intact.
Please message me for project approval BEFORE ordering! This lets me confirm your manuscript is a good fit and provide accurate pricing and delivery times. Orders without prior approval will be rejected. Pricing and delivery times are based on 10,000 words and may vary depending on your manuscript's length and needs.

FAQ
What genres do you edit?
I edit YA and adult fiction of all genres! I especially love paranormal romance, dark romance, high-stakes fantasy, and dystopian. If your book has romance, magic, monsters, danger, or all of the above, I’m interested!
Do you accept mature or dark content?
Absolutely! Mature themes, spicy romance, dark themes, violence, and intense subject matter are all welcome. The spicier and darker, the better!
What types of books do you NOT accept?
I currently only work with YA and adult fiction. I do not accept children’s books, poetry, nonfiction, or screenplays.
What file format do you require?
All manuscripts must be submitted as a .doc or .docx Microsoft Word file. I use Word’s Track Changes and Comments features, so these formats are required for me to properly edit your manuscript.
Will you change my writing style or voice?
Nope! Your voice is yours, and I want to keep it that way. My goal is to polish your writing and make it clearer and stronger without turning it into something that no longer sounds like you.
Do you provide feedback on my manuscript?
Absolutely! Any feedback I provide will be added through Word’s Comments feature. Proofreading and copy editing don’t require critique, but I’ll still hype up scenes, dialogue, characters, and moments I absolutely love!
Do I need to contact you before ordering?
Yes! Please message me before placing an order so I can review your project, confirm it’s a good fit, and provide accurate pricing and delivery times based on your manuscript. Any orders placed without prior approval will be rejected.
