โ 300+ Books, Manuscripts, Documents & Presentation Decks Delivered
โ 150+ Global Clients
I'm a certified proofreader and copy editor offering professional proofreading, copy editing, document formatting, and presentation design services.
Your document is often the first impression a client, professor, or investor gets of you. If it's cluttered, inconsistent, or full of typos, that impression suffers before anyone reads a single idea. That's the problem I fix.
Here's what I can do for you:
๐ญ. ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด & ๐๐ผ๐ฝ๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด
Proofreading and editing for books, ebooks, novels, manuscripts, academic papers, theses, dissertations, essays, blog posts, website content, business documents, reports, and marketing copy. I handle grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, clarity, consistency, and tone, following style guides like APA, MLA, and Chicago. You get clean, error-free, publish-ready text with your voice intact.
๐ฎ. ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด & ๐๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป
Formatting for Microsoft Word, PDF, and Google Docs, including book formatting, ebook formatting (Kindle/KDP-ready), manuscript formatting, CV and resume design, cover letters, business reports, proposals, handbooks, manuals, training guides, templates, and letterheads. I fix broken styles, headings, tables of contents, page numbers, margins, and layouts so your document looks consistent, professional, and easy to navigate.
๐ฏ. ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป
Custom PowerPoint presentations, Google Slides, and Canva designs, including pitch decks, investor decks, corporate presentations, sales decks, webinar slides, training presentations, and branded templates. Clean, modern slide design with strong visual hierarchy, infographics, icons, and layouts that support your message instead of crowding it.
Clients come to me with messy files and tight deadlines. They leave with polished, professional work and one less thing to worry about. Send me a message. I respond quickly, and I'm happy to review your file before you commit to anything.

โ๏ธ Book Editor | Developmental, Line & Copy Editing | Proofreading | Beta Reading
Hi there! I'm the editor you call when your manuscript is almost there... but not quite. Whether youโve written a novel, memoir, self-help book, or something that doesnโt fit neatly into a genre box, Iโll help you turn your draft into something clean, clear, and impossible to put down.
With a background in professional editing and a lifelong obsession with storytelling, I offer a full menu of editing servicesโfrom high-level story shaping to nitpicky proofreading that even your grammar-nerd friend would applaud.
๐ What I Do (a.k.a. How I Help Writers Like You):
๐ง Developmental Editing โ The big-picture stuff. Plot holes? Flat characters? Wobbly pacing? Iโll point them outโwith kindnessโand give you the tools to fix them. Youโll get an editorial letter + chapter-by-chapter notes.
๐๏ธ Line Editing โ Sentence surgery. Iโll fine-tune your prose so it flows better, hits harder, and sounds like youโbut on your best day. Think of it as turning the volume up on your voice, not changing the station.
๐ ๏ธ Copy Editing โ Grammar, punctuation, syntax, and consistency. Less glamorous, but super important. Because no one wants to be their when they meant theyโre.
๐ Proofreading โ The final polish. Iโll catch those sneaky little typos, rogue commas, and formatting hiccups before your book heads out into the wild.
๐ Beta Reading โ Reader feedback from someone whoโs not your mom. Iโll give you an honest, thoughtful report on whatโs working, whatโs not, and what readers might stumble on.
โ๏ธ Specializations
I help authors, entrepreneurs, students, and creatives bring their words to life through a wide range of writing, editing, and publishing services, including:
โ Academic Essays & Research Reports
โ Beta Reading & Reports โ honest, reader-focused critique
โ Book & eBook Design โ covers, layouts, Canva
โ Book Blurbs, Proposals & Synopses
โ Business, Leadership & Productivity Books
โ Childrenโs Story Writing
โ Developmental Editing โ structure, pacing, tone, engagement
โ eBook Writing & Ghostwriting
โ Game & Interactive Writing โ quests, branching narratives
โ Ghostwriting & Co-Writing โ from notes/outlines to polished manuscripts
โ KDP Formatting, Cover Design & Publishing Support
โ Line, Copy Editing & Proofreading โ crisp, clear, error-free prose
โ Low-Content Books โ journals, planners, trackers
โ Memoirs, Life Stories & Personal Essays
โ Monologues & Dialogue โ theater, YouTube, drama students
โ Narrative Nonfiction & Research Writing
โ Newsletters & Email Copywriting
โ Poetry โ books, weddings, memorials, gifts
โ Screenwriting & Scriptwriting โ film, TV, YouTube, stage
โ Self-Help, Spiritual, Motivational & Wellness Writing
โ Short Stories, Flash Fiction & Microfiction
โ Transcription โ image-to-text & audio-to-text
โ Travel & Lifestyle Writing
โจ Who I Work With:
- Fiction writers: fantasy, romance, sci-fi, literary, thriller, mysteryโyou name it
- Nonfiction authors: memoir, business, self-help, thought leadership
- First-timers, indie authors, hybrid authors, and traditionally published pros
- Big book? Short story? Half-finished manuscript thatโs whispering โhelp meโ? Iโve got you.
๐ผ Why Me?
- Friendly, thorough, and low on ego
- Big on voiceโyours, not mine
- Comfortable working with Chicago Manual of Style, APA, or your preferred style
- Deadlines = sacred
- Confidentiality = guaranteed
- Feedback = direct but never harsh (this is your book, after all)
๐ฆ What Youโll Get:
- Edited files in Microsoft Word with Tracked Changes
- Clean version (because not everyone likes red marks)
- Clear editorial letters or beta reports (no vague notes like โthis part felt offโ)
- Follow-up support, because editing is a team sport
๐ฌ What Clients Say:
โInsightful and supportiveโshe saw issues I didnโt even know existed.โ
โShe saved my manuscript from being a hot mess. Worth every penny.โ
โFunny, sharp, and incredibly professional. Will hire again!โ
โHer editorial letter was like a roadmap to a better book. Clear, smart, and so helpful.โ
โIโve worked with other editors beforeโthis was the first time I felt truly heard.โ
โShe didnโt just fix my wordsโshe made me a better writer.โ
โFast turnaround, honest feedback, and she actually made editing... fun?โ
๐ง Letโs Work Together
Have a draft and not sure if it needs editing, feedback, or just a strong cup of coffee? Letโs talk. Iโll help you figure out what stage you're in and how I can help.
๐ฉ Drop me a message with your word count, genre, and goalsโand letโs make your manuscript shine.
