I am a fictional Ghost Writer specializing in adult contemporary romance novels. I believe it is important to form a connection with clients to achieve the best possible result and thus communication is so important. All my stories are written from scratch with unique plots and characters and I am also able to assist with plot creation and character building. I also have experience in Beta Reading and understand the importance of such a task before an author dives into the world of querying. I provide detailed reports upon completion of the book and whatever feedback the author requires.

If meticulous, reliable, and hardworking are the qualities you’re looking for in an editor, then you have come across the correct profile. Hi, my name is Fahmida, and I am a qualified fiction editor and proofreader with 4+ years of experience. I was a teacher with 15 years of experience before I completed my certification from SA Writer’s College, which is a certified institute, with branches both in the UK and New Zealand. I am always revising and learning my craft, so what does that mean? It means, I read the latest books on writing and editing, attend writing and editing workshops, and make sure I am always reading fiction books. How does this help my craft? Well, it means I understand 3 or 4 act-structure, and can identify pacing and flow issues, as well as character growth and tension. I am particularly good at editing romance and would consider it my niche genre to work in. As a fiction editor, I offer the following services: - Developmental editing - Copy Editing - Proofreading - Line Editing - Plot review I work with all genres excluding sci-fi and horror. While we speak and write British English in South Africa, many of my clients are from the USA, so I am well conversant in American English spelling and grammar differences, and I can edit according to the Chicago Manual of Style, as well as the Oxford Style Guide.
