Writing a book is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. I am a professional ghostwriter, editor, and "book fixer," specializing in romance of all kinds, but skilled in working with most any non-fiction, historical fiction, adult and teen fiction, or children’s fiction projects. Whether you need a manuscript written from scratch, polished through editing, or completely transformed, I provide customized services to fit your needs. As a ghostwriter, I turn ideas into compelling, well-structured books while preserving your voice. My editing services include proofreading and developmental edits to improve structure, pacing, and readability. For manuscripts that need extensive revisions (15-60% of the overall work), my 'Manuscript Makeover' service blends deep editing with necessary rewriting to elevate your book to a professional level. Each author and story is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your goals. Whether you’re self-publishing or going the traditional route, I can help refine your book and get it publication-ready. Let’s work together to bring your vision to life.

HALOMARI with InkbyOmari.com Creative Developmental Editor with expertise in editing and proofreading a wide range of materials, from fiction novels to academic papers. Skilled at maintaining style and tone while ensuring clarity, coherence, and engagement. Passionate about refining language and enhancing readability to create compelling, polished content. I offer manuscript critiques (beta reading), developmental edits that focus on a manuscript's "big picture" aspects, and copy editing using track changes in Word documents. My developmental editing involves substantial changes to the manuscript, such as reorganizing chapters, adding or removing characters, rewriting scenes or dialogue, or addressing issues with pacing, tone, or style. Developmental editing ensures that the story is compelling, coherent, and consistent. This edit is done before copyediting and proofreading. You will receive an annotated copy of your manuscript with comments in the margins and in-line edits using Google Docs or Word track changes. A first-chapter sample edit is available upon request. Two 1-hour consultation calls for female authors (only) are included and optional. My favorite genres include Adult Fantasy, Sci-fi, Dystopian, Romance, Historical Fiction, and Religion. When I’m not editing, I tutor English AP students, providing test prep, essay writing/editing, and homework help.

I’m Ana, a queer woman living in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I work primarily with indie and self-published authors. I’m a thorough, passionate, and insatiably curious editor who will always want to know more about your world, your characters, and your inspiration. I believe in a relationship of trust between a writer and an editor, and that an editor is not a critic but a partner who will stay by your side throughout the creative process. I specialize in fantasy, LGBTQ+, horror, dark romance, and sci-fi novels, and I am comfortable with any spice level or wild plot in that vein. I will never make you feel ashamed of your work or ask you to tone down what truly drives you, and I am committed to delivering the best possible version of that work to your audience.
