Not just "done," but ready for readers.
I see you, fiction writers. You wrote it. You know what you want it to say. I’ll help you finish it ... with clarity and confidence.
“However you want to write your book, Susan will allow your voice to be yours.”
Your draft is written … so why does it feel like the hardest part is still ahead?
You’ve put in the time. The rewrites. The late nights and early doubts.
Now you’re staring down edits—and it all feels murky.
AI is tempting. But you know your words deserve more than a formula. You want clarity without compromise. You want your voice to shine—clean, clear, and unmistakably yours.
That’s where I come in.
Keep scrolling to see why writers trust Fine Line Proofs.
Fine Line Proofs is different.
You won’t get a rewrite. You’ll get refinement.
You won’t get another voice in your head. You’ll get one you can trust.
I don’t believe in rules that erase what makes your writing yours. That’s why I work with creative fiction writers in the final stretch—when you’re tired, almost there, and just need a steady hand to help bring your story into the world the way you meant it.
I hear you asking: “I know what I want to say, but is it clear to readers?”
After working with me, you’ll be saying: “This book is me, and I'm proud to share it.”
That shift—from tangled and tentative to clear and confident—is what I help writers do every day.
