I edit both Fiction and Nonfiction Books from many genres. Books I work on can range in length from a children's picture book of 1200 words to a novel of 130,000 words. Some of my favorite fiction genres to edit include science fiction, mystery, historical, and adventure. My favorite nonfiction genres to edit include business, nutrition/health, instruction/how-to, and poetry. I welcome the chance to edit books in numerous genres.

I’ve worked with novelists, blog writers, business owners, publishers, non-profit organizations, poets, administrators, college professors, and many other kinds of clients. Read some of their Testimonials about my editing services.

No. I do not use automated software to correct grammar or proofread. My Book Editing Process is direct, personalized, professional and based on years of knowledge, experience, and research.

Contact me as early as possible to ensure that I will be available to work on your manuscript or short story within your desired timeframe, allowing time for discussion and revisions. Know the total word count. Throughout the editing process, be prepared to respond to questions and participate in revisions in a timely manner to prevent delays. Additional details can be found on my Terms page.

I do not provide ghostwriting or write new content for clients' books. However, editing almost always entails reworking phrases and sentences.

Probably, but before making a bid I would need to review a large portion of it to determine the extent of editing required. Additionally, I have experience editing both American and British English. I do not provide translation, and edit English content only. I do not edit ESL poetry.

If the AI-generated content is poetry, no, I will not. If only minimal AI assistance was used during the process of writing your book/story, yes. If the majority of content was AI-GENERATED, I must be informed prior to my quote and I will add $100 to the quote, regardless of length. If I am NOT informed and run the book/story content through an AI-detector after purchase and discover it IS AI-generated, then I will decline the job and refund your deposit MINUS a $50 inconvenience fee.

I have over 30 years of experience in editing acquired through several freelance editing platforms, various business administrative positions, college course training and writing, website creation and management, and personal use. Please read My Story to learn more about my professional and editing background.

Accepted payment methods include debit, credit, PayPal and Square. All payments are processed securely through either PayPal (account not required) or Square. After discussing terms for your book, I will email you an invoice through PayPal or Square (your choice). Additional details can be found on my Terms page.
