Editing That Honors
Your Story

Helping Authors Since 2013

I’ve been working with authors since 2013, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s this: your job is to write the book — my job is to make it shine. Editing isn’t about changing your voice; it’s about refining your words so they resonate with readers. Whether you’re polishing a first draft or preparing for publication, I’m here to help — without judgement, just expert guidance.

Polish Your Manuscript
Before Editing

Format your document for easy readabilitydouble-spaced, Times New Roman or Arial, and no extra spaces between paragraphs.

Check for consistency – italicize book and song titles, use the Oxford comma, and avoid weak pronouns like it or that.

Strengthen your writing – replace passive phrases, remove unnecessary adverbs, and ensure cause and effect flow naturally.

Legal tip: Avoid using song lyrics or book quotes without permission—it’s plagiarism!
