About this Gig
Vetted Pro
Please send me a message before placing an order so we can discuss your needs!
I know the pain of writing endless drafts only to have someone point out a grammar error or problem with the plot.
If a book is inconsistent, lacks emotion, or is filled with typos, readers will notice. Those issues could hurt your reviews and sales. I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen!
I want to help your book be the best it can and help you become a better writer by understanding how to tell a story, how to write interesting characters, and how to create conflict that will have the reader craving the next page.
I offer:
Basic: Proofread and Copy Edit
- I will correct: Grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, readability, flow, ensure proper dialogue punctation
Standard: Developmental
- Comments in your manuscript that focus on character development, pacing, and plot development with suggestions for improvements and positive input!
- Review and Critique file: what is working, what isn't, and how to improve
Premium: Extensive Edit
- Everything in Basic and standard!
You will receive a Tracked Changes Copy and a Clean Copy.
I do all the editing manually!

What is your editing style?
I want to leave your voice and style intact. So I only change things if they are incorrect, vague, or awkward. I use a light hand as far as line editing is concerned so that your book maintains your unique voice!
What is a "Pro" gig?
A Fiverr "Pro" gig means that the seller has been hand-vetted and verified as a professional in that particular industry. Only 1% of applicants (that's me!) get accepted to Fiverr Pro, so you can be sure you'll receive an incredibly high level of service!
What does your Proofreading/Copy Editing cover?
I will correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, readability, check for sentence structure and fix accordingly, flow, clarity, word choice, consistent voice and style, and correct dialogue grammar and dialogue tags.
What does your developmental editing cover?
A broad look at your story, character development, pacing, and plot development with notes and suggestions for improvements and positive comments about what is working!
What file type do I need to submit my manuscript in?
I require a Microsoft Word file of your document.
If I have written a series, would you edit the entire series?
Absolutely! We can certainly work out a custom order for more than one manuscript! If you mention ahead of time that you have a series, I can offer a discount!
Do you edit other genres?
I will edit and proofread any genre. Including: Fiction: literary, historical, romance, fantasy, sci-fi, YA, horror, poetry, short stories Nonfiction: business, self-help, inspirational, spirituality, Christian, memoir, tech
