About this Gig
Hey!
I'm Vanessa.
I provide careful, line-level editing for completed or in-progress poetry collections, focusing on clarity, flow, and language while preserving your voice.
This gig is for poets who are preparing their manuscript for publication or beginning to compile their collection and want thoughtful, respectful edits. Although I offer copy editing, I don't do rewrites. I DO NOT FORMAT.
What you get:
- Line-by-line edits using Track Changes (Microsoft Word)
- Grammar and punctuation corrections
- Smoother flow and clearer lines (I do not rewrite your work)
- Consistency across poems
- Confidentiality and care for your creative voice
Optional extra:
- Overall feedback on the collection as a whole (themes, cohesion, flow)
Requirements:
- One manuscript per order
- One Word document only (no PDFs or Pages)
- Projects over 5,000 words require a custom order
I reserve the right to decline manuscripts containing content that promotes harm, hate, or abuse.
I approach poetry with care, respect, and an author's understanding of how personal this work can be.
I'd be happy to help you prepare your collection for its next step!
-Vanessa
