I edit words of all kinds, intent, and purpose! Whether you have a book manuscript, a book proposal, an academic article, a voiceover script, an annual report, or newsletter copy, I would love to help. I treat every single piece of writing with the same level of care and importance.
1. Structural Editing
This is the big-picture stage of editing. I’ll look at the overall organization of your manuscript, article, report, or story to see how well the pieces fit together. Do the arguments or narrative progress naturally, or do they feel disorganized? Are ideas unnecessarily repeated in different sections? My goal is to tighten your structure so your work feels cohesive and easy to follow.
2. Stylistic Editing
The main focus here is on flow, clarity, and general style. I’ll remove awkward phrasing, clichés, and unnecessary wordiness to improve readability. You’ll end up with an interesting variation of sentence structures, smooth transitions, and a tone that matches your audience and purpose. Whether you are aiming for a professional, conversational, or academic voice, I’ve got you covered.
3. Copy Editing
This is the detailed work. I’ll correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors while keeping an eye on your language for consistency. That means always hyphenating words like “built-in” while ensuring you don’t accidentally use the same word multiple times in one sentence. It’s all about precision and accuracy to make your work professional and polished.
4. Proofreading
This is a final double-check of your project. I’ll thoroughly review your copy to catch typos, formatting errors, and any other minor oversights. I’ll provide a fresh pair of eyes to ensure your copy is clean, professional, and correct.
5. Ghostwriting
If you know exactly what you’re trying to say but can’t find the words or the time to make it happen, you need a ghostwriter. I can turn your rough notes, basic outlines, or even AI-generated drafts into blog posts, newsletters, website content, social media captions, handouts, or email templates that capture your authentic (human!) voice. The goal is content that sounds like you, not a robot, so your ideas shine through naturally and clearly.
