  • A Beautiful Manuscript: No more worrying about typos hanging around or inconsistencies. Details can make the difference, and now your story will be easy to read.
  • 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?”
  • Writer Confidence: Your story will be ready to put out there, whether that means sending to agents, self-publishing, or prepping for ARC 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.

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.
  • "I'm done. I'm ready." Every word, every sentence, every detail will be 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. A few lines about your project are enough.
  • 2 I’ll review a sample to confirm the scope of editing your manuscript needs.
  • 3 We make a plan together: timeline, scope, and pricing—no surprises later.
  • 4 Then the work begins. I go through your manuscript carefully, focusing on polish, clarity, and consistency—keeping your voice intact.

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.

Honesty, compassion, and all about you—
