Are you looking for an experienced editor who can turn your rough draft into a polished, engaging, publication-ready book that readers will enjoy from the first page to the last? Send me a message! I specialize in editing and proofreading nonfiction and fiction books (whether AI-generated or not), helping authors strengthen their manuscripts while preserving their unique voice. Whether your book needs developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, or a meticulous final proofreading pass, I provide thoughtful, detail-oriented edits that improve clarity, flow, readability, consistency, pacing, structure, and overall reader engagement. I read from the perspective of a first-time reader and identify opportunities to make the manuscript stronger. Many manuscripts today are drafted with AI assistance. I have extensive experience refining AI-assisted content, identifying robotic language and removing it, reducing repetition, improving sentence variety, strengthening transitions, and creating natural, human-sounding prose that preserves your ideas and authentic voice. I refine AI-assisted manuscripts so they sound human, strengthen flow and transitions, remove repetition, preserve the author's voice, improve clarity and readability, use Track Changes, and professionally prepare manuscripts for Amazon KDP and print publication. SUMMER 2026 RATES: US$0.01 per word for copy/line editing (1 round, with the option for 1 round of light revisions), US$0.005 per word for proofreading (1 round), US$0.015 for developmental editing (1 round, with 1 round of follow-up clarifications/questions) US$0.01 per word for AI Content Humanizing Hourly rate: $15 per hour If you've finished writing your manuscript but know it still needs a professional editorial eye before publication, you're in the right place!
