Bottom Line: I will give you in-depth, useful and *clear* feedback to push your book. I've got years of experience, and I know what it's like to be on both sides of the red editor pen.
My name is Matan. I'm a published writer myself, an English teacher by trade and a student of English Literature. My stories have been award-nominated, and I am an Editor for Precipice Fiction Publishing House and eBookPro.
My Packages:
Proofreading
During this stage we focus on spelling, punctuation, grammar, consistency, capitalization and prepare the novel for publishing. This should be the final stage before publishing.
Copyediting
A stage that takes a big picture look at your manuscript, and where the editor becomes involved on the structural level. This level of editing is centered around plot structure, voice, character motivations and themes.
Heavy Line Editing
Choose this if your narrative, plot, and characters are solidified, and now it is time to focus on the prose, page-level structure, clarity, and pace. This includes heavy-line editing, proofreading and developmental editing.

This is my fifth gig with Matan and man does he deliver. I'm a huge fan of his work, the quality of it, his professionalism, and the videos that come with it explaining his thoughts and general commentary of the work. What a treasure he is, and now that he knows all five of my books, his insight into the story has been incredibly important to me.

Excellent copy editing from Matan. His feedback is very clear and shows a high level of understanding. He uses examples to get his point across, which leads to better understanding. I have used his feedback to clean up some areas that had fallen behind the blinders. Thank you, Matan, for helping me improve my writing.
