Imagine your readers holding your book and seeing it at its best.

Take a break from obsessing. I'll handle the details.

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

You've written it … 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.

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 bring your manuscript into the world as you wrote it.

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, consistent, and confident—is what my editing provides for every manuscript.

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."

—Chris Cranford
