About this Gig
I provide a detail-driven line and copyediting combo for indie romance authors. Whether you're writing about aliens, shifters, fae, or plain ol' humans who love as MF, RH, LGBTQIA+, or poly in closed-door or open-door scenes set in the past, present, or future; I've got you covered.
I focus on:
- Sentence-level clarity
- Line edits for tone, emotional flow, and spatial mechanics
- Grammar, punctuation, and formatting
- Style consistency and continuity
- POV, tense, and timeline checks
- Ensuring your story reads smoothly without altering your voice
My Workflow:
I offer traditional Word Track Changes or my signature system using inline numbered flags in your Word document that correspond to a clear, organized Excel feedback table. This keeps everything tidy, consistent, and easy to follow.
About Me:
With a background in psychology, ESL teaching, and design, I bring precision, empathy, and reader awareness to every project.
If you'd like to see the romance genres I read, you can find me on Instagram @mydadsaid_readabook.

FAQ
What made you decide to become an editor?
This all started with ARC feedback. I was simply offering support—and suddenly I was being thanked, paid, and invited back. I saw not just what I could offer, but how to help nurture a safe, collaborative creative space. That’s what I bring to your project.
Will your feedback change my writing style?
Not at all. My goal is to help your words shine, not override them. My notes are designed to keep your voice while improving clarity and reader impact.
What makes your feedback different?
My feedback blends grammatical precision, keen recall, and a genuine respect for the romance genre. I focus on actionable insights that elevate your story’s clarity, emotional tone, and overall impact without compromising your voice.
What qualifies you to edit my story?
I’ve read thousands of books, taught ESL for 10+ years, have a degree in psychology, and I'm writing my own book. I spot errors easily and I'm happy to give feedback that’s clear and supportive. Everyone's story deserves to shine, and I'd love to help make that happen.
