My Portfolio
FAQ
Do you edit other genres?
Yes, I do! I simply specialize in Fantasy/Sci-Fi, YA, and Romance. However, I do NOT edit memoirs, biographies, or autobiographies. I also do not provide developmental services for any nonfiction.
What if I'm not fluent in English or struggle with writing?
I will check a sample of your file prior to the start of the project. If I determine the readability to be poor, I may charge a fluency fee (up to twice the base price of your word count).
What kind of file should I provide?
Please provide a Word file.
What happens if my novel is longer than your package limit?
Fiverr automatically adjusts pricing for longer manuscripts. You can enter your full word count in the calculator or message me for a custom quote!
Do you offer rush delivery?
Possibly! I book projects in advance, so please message me. Rush slots are limited and handled case-by-case.
Do you rewrite or ghostwrite?
No. I preserve your voice and flag issues in comments instead of rewriting prose. I don't offer ghostwriting or full rewrites.
Can you guarantee a perfect edit?
Every project receives a thorough, professional review, but no editor can promise a 100% error-free manuscript.
Will my story remain confidential?
100%. All materials are kept private (behind a password) and never distributed or discussed outside our collaboration without your consent.

Everyone looks qualified on paper, but it's rare to find someone who is both highly skilled and genuinely cares about your project. Maryssa was that person for me. From...

Ongoing collaborationMaryssa is great, she really gives detailed notes, makes all sorts of corrections, explains corrections, hints at new ideas/suggestions. She also provided extra documents going over the script. All in all, very detailed in in a relatively short amount of time for an 85,000 words (or so) manuscript.
