About this service

Summary

Have you revised your story, nailed down your characters and plot, and decided it's time to give your story that final polish? 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've been an editor for over a year, and I've been beta reading for 3 years. I 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 copy and line edit:

Language/voice/syntax 

Grammar 

Punctuation 

Continuity 

Fact consistency (descriptions, settings, character details, etc.) 

Technical consistency (spelling, capitalization, font usage, punctuation, numerals, etc.) 

Filler words

Weak verbs

Dialogue

I specialize in young adult, romance, historical fiction, science fiction, and fantasy books.

Note: 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.

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.
