Also, I make sure that your written work is polished and professional and that it effectively communicates your message to your audience. I have a keen eye for detail and can spot even the smallest of errors.

I also ensure that your writing is consistent in style and tone, conforming to your brand or communication standards.

I'm always happy to go the extra mile to ensure that my clients are completely satisfied with my work! Thank you for considering me for your proofreading and copyediting needs.

Let me help you get to the next step of publishing your book or polish your professional documents for social media! I am a multi-genre editor with over eight years of experience as well as a published author of children’s books and full-length fiction. As an editor, I work with authors and professionals to improve the quality of their written work, such as books, blogs and website content. I will edit and proofread for punctuation, grammar, word usage, spelling, clarity, flow, and continuity. In each sentence, I examine the topic, writing style, and language used, as well as the paragraph style. My experience includes over six years of editing children’s picture books and chapter books, full-length fiction and non-fiction, and poetry. I’ve edited romance, mystery, fantasy, historical, erotica, self-help, and Christian. A Few Testimonies (from Get It Write): “Melanie went ABOVE AND BEYOND my expectations. When I began, I had zero idea what to do (my first book!). Melanie walked me through everything! She was so helpful and easy to ask anything! My book would not have been the same without Melanie. I will 100% use Melanie again. I couldn’t imagine using any other editor!” (editing, formatting, self-publishing a children’s book) “I spent $1300 at another editing service to get my book edited. It’s safe to say that my money was wasted. Melanie Lopata went above and beyond for a fraction of the cost. I HIGHLY recommend Melanie and her editing services! She takes the time to actually read your manuscript and it definitely showed.” (editing, formatting full-length children’s chapter book)

I am a writer, editor and content creator based in New York City. I have a singular ability as an editor; I can make you sound like the smartest version of you - or the funniest, or the most positive, or any other superlative you can think of. Thanks to a dual degree in Creative Writing and theatre and about seven years of professional experience, I can match anyone's written voice in a minute. This is especially useful if you need to add color into an AI-written article; I can make a bland LLM response sound just like you wrote it. I spent most of my career as an online journalist, specializing in fields related to entertainment, especially television, streaming, and new media, but I have a broad base of knowledge that I am always eager to expand. I've also been a ghostwriter for several podcasts and businesses, and have written and appeared in an award-winning web series. If you want to work with a positive, passionate editor who cares just as much as you do, please reach out!

Michael S.
- 5.0/5

Hello! I'm Mike — My superpowers: Copy and line editing. Proofreading. Writing copy. I pay attention to the small details — I have a knack for spotting the miscue that nobody else spots. I can transform complex ideas into clear, elegant language. See what my clients have to say: "Michael is a great editor. He communicated well with me and finished the work quickly. I paid him more than we had agreed on initially because I could see the value he brought to the project. I highly recommend him." – Christine F. "Michael provided excellent help with my project — proofreading and copy editing an academic document. I would certainly work with him again for projects that required proofreading or formatting. He displayed a keen eye for detail." – Ewan K. "Fast, detailed, and reliable. Michael really helped us out and we'll be working with him again." – Sam S. My background: I bring decades of experience in writing and writing instruction, proofreading, editing, and publishing books, stories, large/small writing projects, speeches, presentations, research arguments, blogs, poems, personal narratives, and essays. (I also support the Oxford comma but will humbly bend to your wishes if you do not!) What I can do: 1) Copy editing and proofreading: I have an eagle eye for spotting any kind of error. These might include grammar infractions, verb tense agreement, punctuation, spelling, typos, regionalization (i.e. British/Canadian stylization), capitalization, homonym errors, sentence structure...you name it. I will spot it so we can fix it. I get a thrill when I find the tiny things that most people miss—that odd extra space, lost period, or missing quotation marks. 2) Line editing: I'll help you rework and rephrase complex ideas into simple, elegant, clear sentences. I have an exceptional ear for tone and voice and can preserve your unique style while sharpening and polishing your prose. Line editing is usually performed ahead of the copy editing. I am able to do line and copy editing simultaneously, but depending on the scope and needs of your writing project, it may take longer. 3) Academic research, proofreading/editing: I have an academic background and am adept at helping academics and researchers with academic journal submissions, proofing copy, formatting citations, and adhering to any unique style guides and submission requirements. 4) Developmental editing: I can do "big picture" collaboration and offer feedback for memoir, nonfiction, academic research, literary fiction, poetry, others within my range of expertise and comfort. Extras: I bring over two decades of experience as a master English teacher in American private and public schools. So, I always bring honesty, dependability, flexibility, teachability, and a desire to jump in and learn new things. If I don't know about a topic, I will research and read until I do. I bring tremendous value as a team person and flexible, creative collaborator who can improvise and pivot on a dime to deliver results ahead of your deadline. I have exceedingly high standards for my clients' end products.

Hi, I’m Dylan Martin, Writer and Editor. As a published author and experienced editor, I bring a sharp eye, a creative touch, and a collaborative approach to every project. Whether refining a novel, shaping a memoir, or polishing educational materials, I focus on clarity, flow, and impact—ensuring every piece reads smoothly and resonates with its audience. I specialize in three key areas: ✔ Proofreading – A final polish to eliminate grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors, ensuring your manuscript, essay, or curriculum is clean and professional. ✔ Line Editing – Enhancing sentence structure, word choice, and tone to create a natural, engaging flow—perfect for fiction, memoirs, and educational content. ✔ Developmental Editing – A deep dive into structure, pacing, and storytelling, helping authors and educators refine their work from the ground up. What this means for you: ✅ Stronger storytelling – Whether it’s a novel, memoir, or educational content, your message will be clear and compelling. ✅ Authenticity and voice – Your unique style will shine while getting the polish it deserves. ✅ Seamless flow – Readers will stay engaged from the first word to the last. While I specialize in fiction (including romance, drama, speculative fiction, and science fiction), memoirs, and educational content (including essays, instructional materials, and curriculum development), I work across a range of genres and formats. My goal is simple: to help your writing reach its full potential. Let’s collaborate to make your words unforgettable. Get in touch, and let’s bring your project to life.

I work with fiction, nonfiction, and everything in between! My goal as an editor is to keep the voice of the author intact while offering clear suggestions for a more tight and cohesive text. Every client I work with receives my committed attention from the first chapter to the very last word. I make sure to organize my schedule to ensure that I can focus on one project at a time. I am organized, communicative, and enthusiastic about taking on new projects. My experience as a Professor of Composition and Literature has instilled in me the value of clear and detailed feedback, as well as diligence and speed when proofreading and editing. Between 2011 and 2019, I developed and taught writing and literature courses at Brooklyn College in New York City. In early 2020, I decided to make a change and focus completely on what I love the most: working with writers! Now, I am editing and proofreading on a full-time basis. The primary editing services I offer include proofreading, copy editing, line editing, and developmental editing. I typically use MS Word or Pages with Text Tracking for all changes and comments, and I'm also comfortable using Google Docs with suggestions. I can also work with PDFs for already formatted manuscripts. Included in my editing portfolio are novels, novellas, short stories, author bios, query letters, back cover content, essay collections, book series, workbooks, website copy, and academic writing. Genres I’ve worked with include: Literary Fiction, YA Fiction, Science-Fiction, Dystopian/Apocalyptic Fiction, Fantasy, Romance, True Crime, Historical Fiction, Mystery, Memoir, Biography, Self-Help, Business, and Personal Growth. Looking forward to discussing your next project! Yasmin

Hello/Hola/Bonjour, All! My name is Rolicia R. Prescott. I am an exceedingly passionate and skilled Caribbean born, U.S. based Virtual Tutor, Proofreading/Editing PRO, and Curriculum Developer. In terms of my academic and professional qualifications, both of the aforementioned requirements evince three primary, common themes: hard work, diligence, and diversity which I hope to apply practically on this platform. Academically, I graduated with honors from a leading all girls institution called the St. Vincent and Grenadines Girls’ High School which played a key role in my formative, early years. As a young adolescent, I honed and mastered malleable skills in Language Arts, Literature, and the Social Sciences while being exposed to the foundational aspects of a highly competitive UK & Caribbean based education system. At the tertiary/university level, I proudly boast a B.A. degree in Africana Studies with a minor in Political Science from the illustrious CUNY Hunter College. Professionally, I have worked as an independent tutor who has instructed internationally while specializing in English Language & Literature as well as the Social Sciences. As a PRO Proofreader and Editor, I have authored and reviewed an innumerable amount of academic papers, college admissions essays, resumes, and cover letters. Conversely, I have also recently assumed the role of Curriculum Developer with a specific focus on Ethnic Studies, English, Political Science, and U.S. History & Government. If asked to describe my tutoring approach, I would aptly refer to the following adjectives while doing so: individualized, structured, and intensive. In the realms of Tutoring & Proofreading, I take the utmost pride in identifying idiosyncrasies that my clients’ works possess while working one and one with them to improve whatever skill or literary piece he/she has presented to me. Here is a delineated and detailed synopsis of the services I provide as well as the relevant experiences that deem me suitable to continue doing so: Writing services offered: - Line by line editing. - Developmental/Structural editing. - Formatting in accordance to US citation style guides. - Copy editing. - Proofreading. - Feedback/Comments. As a tutor, I have eight years of continuous experience in the subjects of English, History, Political Science, and Spanish. I have assisted both international and non-international students in preparing for SAT, ACT, LSAT, GRE, GMAT, and CSEC. In terms of English, I am proficient in the nuances of American and UK English, grammar and punctuation conventions, oral and reading comprehension. In terms of Political Science and History, I am apt in the topics of International relations, Comparative politics, American politics, World, Caribbean, and Latin American histories. Tutoring services offered: - Specifically tailored lesson plans aimed to improve your shortcomings while maximizing your strengths. - Use of interactive media such as YouTube videos, infographics, flash cards, books. - Online/ In person sessions. What sets me apart from the competition? - Stellar and seamless proofreading/copyediting skills. - Timeliness and transparency. - Absolute confidentiality. - Intermittent communication/feedback. - Plagiarism and error-free work. - Satisfaction guaranteed. Thus, do feel confident in selecting me to assist you in any of the aforementioned areas. I am quite confident that we can work in tandem to produce stellar quality work/ameliorate difficult subject areas. I look forward to hearing from you. Lets get to work!

Hello! My name is Shannon O’Brien. I write Adult and Young Adult romance fantasy and adventure with magical realism and/or speculative elements. I’ve been studying writing, editing, and story structure since 2010. I’ve seen a lot of bad advice floating around and it drives me nuts (talking out of your rectum will do that to me 😂). I’ve written thirteen novels, edited over 100, and I’m currently represented by Shannon Snow of Creative Media Agency. My goal is to help new authors polish their manuscripts without changing the voice. Having been on the other side, I know what it’s like, and I’m here to help. I’ve been helping fellow writers now for over a decade. Your manuscript will be my main focus. It will get the same treatment as mine (and I’m an anal perfectionist, so heads up! 😜).
