OPEN TO NEW CLIENTS. Even if the online badge is off. KDP specialist. Editor. Proofreader. Professional handbook formatting. I work promptly and am always willing to go the extra mile for my clients. I have experience editing and proofreading for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting for Kindle or other publishing platforms. I do not use AI in my work and decline to work on projects done with it. I am also highly experienced in line editing for clarity and continuity and an experienced beta reader who can provide detailed feedback for an author. I am an experienced Word user and always work with "Track Changes." I also format handbooks. I do not do plagiarism checks. My experience includes Academic proofreading, editing, formatting, and knowledge of the Chicago Manual of Style, Turabian, MLA, and even Harvard and Vancouver referencing styles. I'm reasonable in price and timing. I want to provide the most constructive feedback a client could ask for and improve the clarity and conciseness of the project I am working on. Please remember that ANY edit or proof always needs at least two rounds. NO ONE can/will catch everything in the first round, therefore, all of my projects include a second proof. Please do not ask me to connect via Telegram or outside the platform. To see an example of my work, from editing and proofreading to formatting for publishing via KDP (print and ebook) please check out the books in my profile and portfolio. I look forward to helping you!
