Jemarie helps words do their best work. An editor, proofreader, and aspiring writer from Davao City, Philippines, she began her career in 2011, teaching English and Literature courses at the college level, coaching students in grammar, research, and purposeful communication. She holds a BA in English, graduating with Latin honors, and a Master of English in Applied Linguistics. Her path includes a season in Japan that strengthened adaptability, years of faculty work guiding research and grammar, managing a small retail venture, and later supporting publishing teams as a hiring manager and book editor, experiences that sharpened her organization, empathy, and judgment beyond classroom confines. Whether refining a chapter or coaching a voice, Jemarie’s aim is to help ideas meet readers with warmth, structure, and purpose. If your draft needs structure, your sentences need polish, or your message needs a heart, Jemarie will help your words transform into tangible reality.

Her personalized approach makes your experience feel customized and also makes your voice heard. I plan on contacting her again!" I am experienced in handling fictional stories, especially in the genres of fantasy and romance. In editing, I prioritize the reader’s experience—I ensure that your story is palatable to them. I could do this in multiple ways: through proposing dialogue to be more engaging, pacing storytelling rhythm to be satisfying, or simply finding which kind of sentence type is best for the line to ease the reader’s mind to the next sentence. ◉ If you’re doubtful about how I can do this, you can check my work samples below! ◉ ✨ EDITING OUTPUTS WITHIN MY BUDGET ✨ → An Editorial Assessment → A MS Word/Google Docs file with Track Changes on for developmental comments → 2 to 5 MS Word/Google Docs files with Track Changes on for line editing and copy editing changes (each file contains different rounds of edits) → The Final Manuscript with all changes implemented (MS Word/Google Docs) → A Copy Editing Style Guide 📖 GENRES EDITED: → High Fantasy → Urban Fantasy → Medieval Fantasy → Magical Realism → Contemporary Romance → Queer/LGBTQIA+ Romance → Speculative Fiction → Psychological Thriller → Science Fiction → Contemporary Fiction → Self-Help (Non-Fiction) → Memoirs (Non-Fiction) → Poetry (Non-Fiction) Curious about what I can do for you? Look here below! 🔹 COPY EDITING → Punctuation - Should there be a comma here? Does the reader need to mentally pause here? → Word Usage - Do we start this sentence with “but”? Didn’t you just do that a sentence ago? → Spelling - Is it actually “acknowledgement”? Is the spelling consistent throughout the manuscript? → Capitalizations - Do we capitalize “the festival of stars”? Is the capitalization consistent throughout the manuscript? 🔹 LINE EDITING → Word Usage - Is the term “fragrance” or “scent” better in this context? Will the readers be able to imagine it more vividly? → Mood/Tone - Should this paragraph sound “exciting”? Can the reader consistently feel that in this paragraph? → Conciseness - Should we have one more sentence talking about this? Do the readers get the point already? → Flow and Structure - Is this paragraph talking about the same topic? Should we make this the next paragraph? 🔹 STRUCTURAL & DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING → Concept - Is your idea interesting? How do you execute that properly? → Plot - Does your plot naturally develop? Should it really be going this fast? → Character - Is your character interesting? Can you differentiate them from other characters? → World - Is the world alive? Does it seem like it was bustling before the story started? When I edit, I look at your story and try to decipher the essence of it. I don’t focus on being technically right. What really matters is that the narrative remains intact. That’s because your narrative is the star of the show. Here’s what you can expect from me: 🔸 Your writing style is safe with me. → As I’m editing, you will never lose your voice. My goal is to make your storytelling better, not eliminate it. Sometimes, we get so blinded by correctness and perfection that we forget the human aspect of stories. I’m here so you don’t forget it. 🔸 I value your narrative. ⁂ “Why did the character say that?” ⁂ “Why did he add this word/sentence?” ⁂ “Why is this happening in the story?” → I always look at the “why”. As long as your reasons for a line/word/paragraph are obvious enough, I’ll make my revisions around that. I’m here so we can balance beauty and purpose, not just dazzle the reader with flowerful words. ◉ If you want to learn about me, keep reading! ◉ You see, I was formerly the Secretary and Vice President of my university's theatre organization, ViARE. There, I learned the beauty of storytelling, and how influential executing it properly does to an audience. Just by simply doing things right—you can sway someone's worldview and future actions. It's mind-blowing how a simple piece of art can do so much. And now, I’ve been copy, line, and developmental editing fictional stories for the past four years. Let me assure you—I will tailor my knowledge and experiences to meet your needs. I have a background in numerous art forms that can be applied, if you believe it or not, even in writing and editing. Connect with me, and let's see what magic we can do together! ✨
