My Editing Services

 

You put your all into your writing, but getting it ready for readers … that’s a whole different ballgame. Imagine sitting with your manuscript one last time—no stress, no self-doubt, holding a version that feels right—ready for the world.

My editing isn’t strictly to “find the errors” with a red pen. You get compassionate guidance, because I understand how important your story is to you.

What You Get:

  • Clearer, smoother sentences that say exactly what you mean.
  • Stronger phrasing that feels natural, not forced.
  • Tangled or repetitive sections untangled, but never risking undoing your style.
  • A story that flows better from start to finish, with no awkward bumps.
  • Suggestions that keep your voice sounding like you, not less.
  • The small fixes you didn’t even realize you needed—but your readers are going to notice.
  • Confidence that your story reads the way you meant it to. That readers will feel it.

Line Editing

Stronger Story.

What It Is:

“For when the story’s working—but the sentences aren’t pulling their weight.”

It’s about digging into your writing, finding where things can be clearer, tighter, and more impactful—carefully removing the spots that are clunky, a bit too long, or a little unclear.

It’s the behind-the-scenes work that doesn’t take away from what you’ve written but works from the inside out—making precise, thoughtful edits that clean up tangled spots, sharpen your phrasing, so every part of your story reads like the version you have in your head.

You won’t lose your voice—you’ll find it landing even closer to what you meant to say all along.

What It Feels Like:

  • Less Self-Doubt: The little things you might have missed will be smoothed out, so you can focus on what matters—your big ideas.
  • Confidence: You’ll feel sure that your writing is on point—no awkward phrases or clunky transitions pulling readers out and making them reread.
  • Forward Motion: You’re ready to take the next step, whether that’s submission, self-publishing, or sharing it with your readers. It’s not quite “done,” but you’re getting there.

  • Professional Integrity: You’ll know your work is technically sound, so you can focus on your big-picture goals without looking back and wondering, “What if?”
  • A Final Touch: Your work will be that much closer to being ready to put out there, whether that means sending to agents, self-publishing, or prepping for your readers.

Proofreading

Truer Voice.

What It Is:

“The final pass before the big send-off. One last sweep for peace of mind.”

After you’ve completed all the editing stages needed for your story, proofreading is the last step before your book is published. By honing in on any little things that might have slipped through the cracks, you’re protecting your professionalism and the quality of your book.

We’re all human, it happens.

What It Feels Like:

  • Complete Peace of Mind: You won’t have to wonder if something is “off.” Your manuscript will be professional, ready to go.
  • Ready-to-Publish Confidence: With everything double-checked, your manuscript is ready for its final destination.
  • A Flawless Finish: Every word, every sentence, every detail will be perfect—just the way you envisioned it.

My Process

Editing shouldn't feel like handing your work over to a stranger and hoping for the best. Here, it’s a conversation. A collaboration.

You want your words clear, confident, and unmistakably yours. I’m the editor who gets that. No overhaul, ego, or drama.

Here’s how we work together—step by step.

  • 1 You reach out. Tell me about your project—a few lines are fine.
  • 2 I take a look. I’ll review a sample and suggest what kind of editing will serve your work best.
  • 3 We make a plan. We’ll talk about scope, timeframe, and pricing—no surprises later.
  • 4 The work begins. I’ll go through your manuscript respectfully, carefully, and focusing on what matters most: clarity, consistency, and honoring your intent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have you heard that little voice saying, “AI could just do this …”

I get it. You’re weighing the cost and wondering if an AI tool would do just as good a job. But will it feel right?

I’ve seen what AI can do to good stories. It sands off the edges, flattens the spark, and leaves something that reads “okay-ish,” but it doesn’t breathe. It has no soul.

You want a real editor who respects your voice and keeps your story human.
