Finding mistakes on your manuscript’s pages, browsing the text for reformatting or alterations and finding a constant balance between storytelling and readability…this is the everyday routine that I love. With my help your text will become shiny and glossy in no time. 

Get the experience, professionalism, and communication you have been seeking in an editor. 

For Copy Editing/Line Editing I Correct: 

-Factual inaccuracies 

-Grammar and punctuation 

-Misuse of words and numerals 

-Turn-around time: 7-10 days, and this comes with my notes on the overall performance of the novel, essay, etc.
