Editing Services

As an experienced college freshman composition teacher, I can quickly help you spot and correct the most common problem errors of beginning writers in the areas of punctuation, voice, transitions, agreement, spelling, and overwriting.

My specialty is proofreading and helping the new or inexperienced creative or academic writer prepare his or her fiction/non-fiction or dramatic manuscript for submission to a journal, an agent or a publisher. (All genres: adventure, historical, romance, erotica, horror, etc.) I will read your manuscript at least twice, searching for, correcting, and marking typos, spelling errors, grammatical and punctuation errors, and details of manuscript form. I will not rewrite your manuscript, but I will look for inconsistencies and story or character problems and point those out to you. I will have your manuscript edited and returned to you within two weeks of receipt. I also can transform your Microsoft Word document into an ebook ready to market on the web.
