What I Do
Copy Editing & Proofreading
Detailed editing for grammar, usage, spelling, punctuation, and consistency. I also check for clarity, flow, and small issues that can distract readers, helping your manuscript feel polished and professional.
Stylistic Editing
Stylistic editing including copy editing as well as clarifying meaning, eliminating jargon, polishing language, and line-by-line editing for smoothness and clarity while maintaining author’s voice and style.
Substantive editing
Big-picture feedback on structure, clarity, and effectiveness. This may include suggestions on organization, pacing, transitions, and strengthening your message so your manuscript connects more strongly with readers.
Interior Book Design
Typesetting (the process of arranging text onto the page so it’s print-ready), font selection, margins, scaling, page numbers and headers, designing front and back matter. This part of the publishing process comes after the manuscript has been edited and before printing.
