Take your writing from 3 stars on Goodreads to a #1 bestseller. I offer professional editing services tailored to help writers refine their work and prepare it for publication. With over 10 years of experience editing manuscripts across genres, I specialize in helping authors bring their unique voice into essays, memoirs, novels, and more.
Services
Copyediting & Proofreading
Every word matters. With expertise in all major style guides (APA, MLA, Chicago, and more), I’ll ensure your manuscript is error-free and publication-ready. From grammar and punctuation to formatting and consistency, I’ll make sure there’s not a period out of place.
Line Editing
Bring your story to life with cohesive style, structure, and voice. I work closely with writers to refine their projects, offering: creative support on plot structure, character development, and genre-specific feedback; detailed line edits to enhance clarity, flow, and artistry; and comments for wide-scale revisions.
