About this Gig

"To err is human, to edit is divine." - Stephen King


Have you ever read a sentence and had to backtrack? Does something not sound right or is it simply difficult to read? Even our inner dialogue can get tongue-tied by bad writing. The truth is that, as humans, we subconsciously pick up on writing that just doesn't "click."


A captivating edit of your novel, short story, article, or copy is guaranteed to connect with your audience on a deeper level. By looking at the project as a whole, I'll be able to bring all the threads together and weave them into a beautiful edit that doesn't take away from your style as an author.


What I'll check and fix for you:

Grammar

Conditionals

Tenses

Punctuation

Spelling

Readability 

Clarity and flow of lines

Consistency

Poor sentence structure 


do not use any programs or software. You're paying for a human editor, not a bot. I edit sentence by sentence and offer honest feedback or critique along with the edited document.


FREE feedback included + Document with track changes + Clean, final document.


For more than 20k words, please contact me for a custom offer.

I'm looking forward to working together!

    The formatting and readability of my manuscript were improved, and I appreciate the work that was done. However, I expected a deeper line edit based on the service description. Some grammar, flow, and transition issues still remained, so I’ll need to do additional editing myself. Overall, the work was okay, but I was hoping for a more polished final draft.

    I had a wonderful experience working with this editor. As a 2nd time author, it's still very nerve wracking to go through this process but she answered all of my questions, was very responsive, and courteous during this process (I probably got on her nerves lol) but I couldn't tell. Thank you for exceeding my expectations! Definitely highly recommended!

    If I’m honest, i assumed since she was such a popular choice that she would overlook the little things on my project but it’s the little things that needed the most attention and she delivered. Thanks.
