FAQ
Will you keep my writing voice and style?
Yes. Your voice should remain yours. I’ll make purposeful improvements to grammar, clarity, flow, and readability while respecting your tone, personality, and original ideas.
How do I know whether I need proofreading or full editing?
Every manuscript is different. If you’re unsure, send me your manuscript or a sample with your word count. I’ll assess what it needs and recommend the most suitable level of editing before we begin.
Do you work with both fiction and nonfiction books?
Yes. I work with novels, memoirs, short stories, self-help, biographies, educational books, and other fiction and nonfiction manuscripts.
Can you handle a complete book or large manuscript?
Yes. I can work on full-length manuscripts. For larger projects, send me the word count and requirements first so I can confirm the scope, price, and delivery time accurately.
Will you rewrite my manuscript completely?
No. I edit with purpose rather than rewriting unnecessarily. My goal is to strengthen your writing while keeping your original meaning, voice, and creative direction intact.
Can I review the changes you make?
Yes. For editing projects, I can use tracked changes and comments in Microsoft Word where appropriate, so you can clearly review and accept or reject individual edits.
Can you edit and format my book in the same project?
Yes. I can combine editing, proofreading, and professional book formatting, creating a cleaner and more consistent final manuscript from the content to the interior layout.
Can you format my book for ebook or print?
Yes. I can format ebooks and print interiors with professional chapter layouts, headings, page numbers, margins, spacing, typography, table of contents, and other required elements.
