About this service

Summary

Have you revised your story, nailed down your characters and plot, edited for grammar and spelling, and now need someone to take a last look to make sure it's perfect? I can help you out!
I have a degree in English and also minored in editing and creative writing where I studied the nitty-gritty details of language. I have been a beta reader for several novels, worked as an acquisitions editor for a science fiction and fantasy magazine, and edited several novels. I've also written two of my own novels.
Here are the things I typically look for in a proofread:
Typos
Grammar
Punctuation
Usage
Flow
Consistency
I specialize in young adult, romance, historical fiction, science fiction, and fantasy books. I don't work on erotic romance.
Note: This is for writing that has already been polished, but just needs a final pair of eyes to make sure nothing was missed. If your story needs more extensive work, I have a line and copyediting service for that. Also in this edit, I won't be looking for larger issues such as plot holes or weak character arcs. If you'd like that kind of edit, I have a developmental editing service you can check out.
Let's get started!

Lexi was a fantastic editor and extremely reliable. I knew when I assigned her a book, project, or series, she could complete it flawlessly. She really excelled at managing longer series, especially with developmental and line edits. I can't recommend her enough.
