Editing Services

Proofreading is the final stage of editing. Your story is strong, your wording is succinct, and now it's time to catch those pesky typos and spelling errors. As your proofreader, I'm searching for and fixing the following errors:

• Spelling
• Capitalization
• Punctuation
• Spacing
• Basic Formatting (paragraph breaks, indentions, etc.)

A strong first chapter is a must for fiction authors. This consultation is perfect for authors who want to make sure their work grabs the reader’s attention. 

This service looks for ways to improve your opening chapter by looking at the hook, content, and language. It addresses what’s working and what needs some tightening. 

This consultation is also perfect for authors without a budget for an entire manuscript consultation but still want professional feedback to improve their writing.  

Copy edits get down to the nitty gritty of writing to make your writing as smooth & impactful as possible.

I will ensure:

• Scenes have strong beginnings, middles, & ends
• Info is relevant/ not lacking
• Transitions are smooth
• Paragraph breaks are correct
• Paragraphs & sentences are efficiently organized
• Clunky syntax & confusing sentences are smoothed out
• Writing isn't passive where it should be active
• Characters have unique voices in dialogue
• Writing shows not tells
• Adverbs are used appropriately
• Repeated words
