You wrote it … the story only you could tell. But it’s not done.
Now you have to be brave enough to hand it to someone who didn’t write it.
Someone who can look closely and make sure the heart of what you created comes through clearly.
Not rewrite. Not take over. Merely tighten the bolts a bit, spot the cracks, and patch the leaks.
Someone who can listen between the lines, making sure the words on the page are the words you meant to say.
I’m that someone, because that’s what I do.
My Editing Services
You put your all into your writing, but getting it ready for readers … that’s a whole different ballgame. What if you could sit with your manuscript one last time—no stress, no self-doubt, holding a version that feels right—ready for the world?
This is where editing gets personal. I don’t just fix your grammar or rewrite your sentences. I help you see your story through fresh eyes. 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. When you see your writing become tighter, your ideas clearer, and your pacing smoother, you’ll be doing less second-guessing and enjoying the freedom to focus on the “what’s next?” You’ll soon be sending your manuscript off to agents, self-publishing, or preparing for your first readers.
What You Get:
Line Editing
Stronger Story.
What It Is:
Line editing is the stage where your story gets re-tuned—not rewritten.
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:
Copyediting
Clearer Words.
What It Is:
Your writing is starting to sound and look good, but here’s where I clean up the technical details.
Copyediting is where we dive into the nitty-gritty: spelling, punctuation, consistency, grammar, and formatting. You’ve worked hard to get your ideas down; now we’ll make sure nothing trips readers along the way.
Now your manuscript is really shaping up—where you can finally stop worrying about misplaced commas or incorrect spelling. Everything gets checked so your story will be seamless.
What It Feels Like:
Proofreading
Truer Voice.
What It Is:
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.
Proofreading is your “golden parachute” to save you before you hit “send” or “publish.”
What It Feels Like:
My Process
Editing doesn’t have to feel like handing your work over to a stranger and hoping for the best. Here, it’s a conversation. A collaboration. A careful, respectful shaping of the story you’ve worked so hard to build.
We’ll find the strongest version of what you’ve written—without turning it into something you don’t recognize.

There’s no way to avoid the pricing question...
...but when it comes down to it, only you know what your budget can hold and how much you can reasonably invest. Editing is one of the most important parts of the entire book development process and skimping on the editing will show up in the final product.
