I offer prompt, thoughtful, detail-oriented editing and proofreading that takes your story from rough draft to polished final version. From fixing grammar and punctuation to enhancing dialogue and character development, I work closely with you to preserve your voice while strengthening your writing. With years of experience editing fiction and nonfiction, plus a strong educational background, I bring both technical skill and a deep love for storytelling to every project.

Here’s how we’ll work together on your editing project:

Initial Consultation – We’ll start with a quick chat (typically via email) to discuss your goals, timeline, and the type of editing you need (proofreading, line editing, developmental, or a combo).

Sample Edit (Optional) – I can provide a short sample edit to give you a feel for my style and approach.

Project Agreement – Once we’re aligned, we’ll confirm the scope, deadline, and rate, and I'll send over a simple agreement.

Manuscript Review & First Pass – I’ll read through your manuscript and make detailed edits using Track Changes, along with margin notes for anything that might need clarification or revision.

Client Review – You’ll get the edited version to review at your own pace. I’m available for questions or to explain any suggested changes.

Final Polish – After you’ve accepted/rejected changes or made additional edits, I’ll do a final proofread to catch anything that slipped through.

Wrap-Up – I’ll deliver your polished manuscript and any summary notes, and we’ll talk through next steps if needed!
