I have also worked on screenplays, blog articles, educational training manuals and books, websites, query letters, and press releases. Not only do I help with editing and proofreading, I also love to help first-time authors publish their first books, giving marketing tips and guiding them every step of the way. I specialize in copy editing, developmental editing, proofreading, and editorial assessment, using the Microsoft Word "Track Changes" and "Comment" features. Specialties include: ​ - Reviewing content for style, grammar, spelling accuracy, punctuation, and consistency. - Text content, quality writing, research, and detail-orientation. - Improving flow, continuity, and overall structure. Experience in the Indie world has given me the tools to make your transition into a self-published author even easier.

I have edited and typeset 70+ nonfiction manuscripts (over 3 million words!) for a traditional publishing company. I have also edited books, articles, websites, and other content for dozens of Upwork clients with 100% job satisfaction. I have a strong knowledge of grammar, punctuation, word use, etc., and a keen eye for detail. I especially love to help clients improve the organization and flow of their content so that it is clear, engaging, and easy for readers to digest. I specialize in nonfiction work, especially self-help, memoir, business, Christian, and educational books. (Please note that I do not work with adult material.) I would love the opportunity to edit the content you've worked so hard to write, making sure it's as close to perfect as possible! *** TESTIMONIALS *** ⭐ From Dr. Nathaniel M.

I'm a passionate reader with a Bachelor's Degree in English from the University of Utah. My main goal with any written or editing project is to ensure a reading experience that is engaging, comprehensive, and the best that it can be. My writing experience includes product descriptions, emails, websites, landing pages, brochures, digital ads, blogs, articles, SEO, and so much more. I love editing others' works to ensure a positive reading experience and story development. If you want engaging content for any of your projects, I'd be more than happy to discuss details and work together.
