About this Gig
Vetted Pro
NOTE: I DO NOT USE AI TO EDIT
Congratulations on finishing your book (or almost finishing, or hey, even getting started). It's an incredible accomplishment no matter where you are in your writing journey.
As a published author with one of North America's leading publishing agencies: Simon and Schuster, I'm delighted to offer my editing and critiquing services for your book.
I hold a BA in Rhetoric and Professional Writing, a masters in teaching, and I am currently a PhD candidate in educational leadership and policy. I bring extensive editing experience to the table, and have also worked as a creative ghostwriter for an Android and iOS app called Lure.
I will edit your book for issues with:
-Spelling
-Grammar
-Sentence Structure
-Plot Development
-Character Development
-Tenses (Ensuring Consistency)
-Tone/Voice
-Narrative Style
I will provide you with two copies: (1) A Tracked Changes Copy, and (2) A Clean Copy.
If the packages do not fit exactly what you are looking for, please send me a message and we'll work out a custom offer! I can edit books of any length!
Language:
English
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.
My Portfolio
FAQ
What qualifies you as a pro seller?
Pro sellers are hand-vetted by Fiverr, and only 1% of sellers are awarded this title based on quality of service, experience, and background. As a published author, English teacher, and PhD candidate, I bring a unique perspective that combines the academic realm with the creative one.
What if my word count is more than 45,000/less than 15,000?
Message me! I'm very flexible and will work with you to create an offer that suits your needs.
You have many orders in queue. Do you still have time for my order?
I absolutely do! I'm usually quite flexible with my delivery times, and can try my best to work around your deadlines and schedule. Message me and we'll figure something out :)
Can you format my manuscript?
Unfortunately, I don't offer formatting, as this is not my area of expertise. That being said, I will focus on paragraph breaks in a developmental edit since this improves overall flow and readability.
I don't need a developmental line edit. Do you offer simple proofreading?
Yes! Pricing for proofreading is different. Please message me for a custom quote based on your word count.
Can you provide me with a sample edit?
Sure! I will provide you with a 2-page sample edit before you place an order to ensure you are satisfied with the work and that we're a good match.
Can you re-write a manuscript?
Yes! If you want a re-write instead of an edit, message me and we can work out a deal. Please note that a re-write will be more expensive.
My manuscript is in UK English, US English, or AUS English. Can you still help me?
Yes! Although I am most knowledgeable in CAD English, I always conduct the needed research to ensure your manuscript is written according to the language style you're after.
Are you a native English speaker?
Yes! I was born and raised in Canada!
Do you use AI?
Nope! I don't use AI to edit your text. I don't believe an AI Chatbot can achieve the same effect as a human editor in transforming your manuscript.
