Copyediting & Proofreading

For fiction writers ready to publish.

Your book is basically done. You just need it cleaned up before readers see it.

here's how it works

“What a find! This editor knows her stuff. Susan really focuses on the details. I appreciated her positive feedback as well.”

—Lynn Hesse, award-winning author

You're curating a reading experience.

My role is to handle the details that can interrupt that experience—so readers stay immersed from the first page to the last.

You’ve already done the hard work. This final stage is about clarity and precision—so your writing reads cleanly and confidently for the people it’s meant for.

Meet Your editor

I’m currently accepting manuscripts, and I’d love to find a spot for yours.

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 won’t tell you how to “find your voice.”

I see what you can’t, fix what’s getting in the reader’s way, and keep your voice intact.

Working with me isn’t about rewriting your book. It’s about protecting it—tightening the lines, smoothing the snags, making sure your story doesn’t fight back when someone reads it.

No drama. No second-guessing. Just done right.

“Susan must be the right editor for me. She tells you what she can do and then she does it, all in a way that is nothing but friendly and professional.”

Imagine this ...

You hit “send” on your manuscript—and instead of anxiety, you feel proud.

You know your story is strong. Your voice is intact. Your sentences carry weight.
You’re no longer wondering if you missed something.

You feel the relief. It’s ready.

Not because a tool cleaned it up, but because someone carefully refined your manuscript—keeping your voice intact and every sentence clear and consistent.

That’s the difference thoughtful copyediting and proofreading makes.
And it’s closer than you think.

"However you want to write your book, Susan will allow your voice to be yours."
