Hire the Best Proofreaders
in Nigeria

Are you looking for a skilled editor with quick turnaround to humanize and finalize your AI-generated book, write review, proofread or redraft your book to meet Amazon KDP specifications? You’re in the right place! Since 2013, I have worked full-time as a writer and editor, helping authors like you, firms, and organizations publish with confidence. And because I collaborated with them, their books and contents have gone on to serve some of the world’s leading publishing houses, respected academic journals, major business brands, and global media platforms, including Amazon KDP, BBC News, Forbes, and Netflix Originals. Clients typically collaborate with me to: • Proofread and line edit content before publication • Edit long-form content, including guides and books • Refine AI-generated drafts to remove repetitive phrasing and sentence structure. excessive explanation instead of natural storytelling, generic or surface-level content, weak narrative consistency, and overly polished but emotionally flat writing • Improve clarity, tone, and flow without changing the original message • Develop and polish professional resumes and other career documents • Format complex documents in MS Word I have extensive experience improving numerous published works, ranging from full-length novels to self-help books, e-books, and poetry collections. Some of the published works I’ve had the pleasure of editing include: * 'The Buyer Centric Operating System’ by Andy Halko, self-published on Amazon; * 'The Sock Drawer Philosophy' by Lisa Begley, self-published on Amazon; * 'Brilliant Beings’ by Ivy A.P Williams, self-published on Amazon; * 'The Campfire Experience’ by Joseph Scarpinito, self-published on Amazon; * 'Born Brilliant: A Parent’s Guide to Raising Leaders, Innovators and Ethical Guardians in the Age of AI (Ages 0-6)’ by Ivy A.P Williams, self-published on Amazon. * ‘Beyond the Clause: A Practical Guide to Understanding Contracts’ by Debra Taylor, self-published on Amazon Having been in the industry for more than a decade, I understand that in 2026, readers are more selective, platform standards are tighter, and “good enough” manuscripts rarely stand out. A book can be well-written and still miss the market. That is why you too need to hire me. Send that message now. You’re just a message away from your dream come true!

As a published author or indie novelist, you don’t just need a proofreader, you need a trusted ally who understands the exact mechanics of storytelling. I focus strictly on reader feedback, not copyediting, ensuring your narrative delivers on its promises before you publish. Whether you need a fast 5–7 day turnaround on a tight production schedule or a deep-dive analysis into genre-specific tropes, I deliver actionable, constructive truths not just empty encouragement. 📚 Core Sub-Genre Specializations While I read across various fiction spaces, I specialize heavily in: Spicy Romance & Novellas: Evaluating heat levels, adult tension, M/F dynamics, and highly specific sub-genres (e.g., contemporary hockey romance, billionaire, and werewolf/paranormal romance). Cozy Murder Mysteries: Analyzing atmospheric world-building, clue placement, and plot consistency. Speculative Fiction, YA, Fantasy & Thrillers: Ensuring structural integrity and high-stakes engagement. 🔍 What Your Comprehensive Reader Report Covers: Pacing & Reader Engagement: Pinpointing exactly where the pacing drags, where the tension drops, and if your ending hooks readers enough to want the next book in the series. Character Development & Realism: Ensuring your leads feel like real adults with genuine, believable chemistry and distinct character arcs. Plot Consistency & Structure: Catching stubborn plot holes, logic flaws, and narrative inconsistencies before your readers do. Overall Readability & Content Flow: Evaluating the structural health of your manuscript from the first page to the final chapter. 🛠️ Why Clients Invite Me to Projects: The Credentials: I hold a degree in English Literature & Creative Writing (UK) with a deep, native command of English conventions across US, UK, AU, and CA variants. Strict Confidentiality: Fully comfortable signing NDAs before reviewing your 15k-word novella or 90k+ word manuscript. Manual Rigor: I do 100% manual, software-checked human analysis.

Let's be honest. Most manuscripts don't fail because the writer lacks talent. They fail because nobody told the writer the truth. Your friend said it was amazing. Your writing group said "maybe tighten chapter three." Your mom cried at the ending, but she also cried at a paper towel commercial last Tuesday. None of that gets you published. None of that gets you reviews. None of that gets readers recommending your book at 1am to someone who should be sleeping. That's where I come in. I read fiction the way your future readers will hungry, impatient, and completely willing to put your book down if you lose me. The difference is I'll tell you exactly where you lost me, exactly why, and exactly what to do about it. Your readers will just leave a two-star review and move on with their lives. I specialize in science fiction, fantasy, and thriller, genres where pacing isn't a suggestion, world-building has to earn its word count, and readers will forgive you almost anything except being boring. What I'll do to your manuscript: ✅ Beta Reading — I read it as a reader first. No editorial filter, no politeness tax. You get my real reaction, where I was hooked, where I checked my phone, where I genuinely didn't see that twist coming, and where I absolutely did. That reaction is worth more than a hundred "it's great" responses. ✅ Developmental Editing — Structure, pacing, narrative arc, character consistency. If your story is a house, developmental editing checks whether the foundation is solid before we talk about the curtains. Most manuscripts need this more than they need anything else and most authors skip it entirely. Don't be most authors. ✅ Line Editing — This is where your prose stops surviving and starts singing. Sentence rhythm, word choice, dialogue that actually sounds human, flow that pulls readers forward without them noticing. Your voice stays completely intact. Everything fighting against it doesn't. ✅ Proofreading — The last thing standing between your manuscript and public embarrassment. Typos, punctuation, consistency errors, the word "definitely" spelled four different ways across 80,000 words. I find all of it. Every last one. You're exactly who I work with if: ✅ You've finished your manuscript and something still feels wrong but you can't name it ✅ Your beta readers liked it but couldn't tell you why the middle dragged ✅ You're self-publishing and your name is going on this thing permanently ✅ You want someone who will treat your story seriously enough to be completely honest about it What you actually get: ✅ Editorial letter with specific, prioritized revision guidance, not vague gestures at "clarity" ✅ Inline comments in Google Docs Suggesting Mode so you see every decision explained ✅ Multiple solutions per problem, because "fix this" without options isn't feedback, it's homework ✅ A reader's real reaction documented throughout, not manufactured after the fact ✅ Your voice protected at every single stage Genres: Science Fiction · Fantasy · Thriller · Mystery · Horror · Young Adult · Historical Fiction · Romance · Literary Fiction · Memoir Short stories to 120,000+ word novels. No cookie-cutter packages, scope and turnaround discussed per project so you're never paying for what you don't need. Most editors will tell you your manuscript has potential. I'll tell you whether it actually does, and if it does, I'll help you prove it on every page. If you're serious about publishing something worth reading, click Invite to Job or send a direct message. Tell me your genre, word count, and where the manuscript feels stuck. I'll take it from there.

Using Microsoft Word Track Changes or Google Docs comments, I can identify inconsistencies, flag confusing passages, and provide clear suggestions while preserving your unique voice.

My feedback style is honest, detailed, constructive, and encouraging. I value excellent communication, professionalism, confidentiality, and clear, actionable feedback in every author relationship. Whether you need beta reading, developmental editing, manuscript critique, manuscript evaluation, line editing, proofreading, or a detailed reader report, I can help identify what is working, what needs strengthening, and how to improve the overall reader experience.

Consultation fees are applied toward booked services. I love creative projects that challenge me. I stay aware of genre trends, reader expectations, and evolving publishing standards so your book doesn't just work—it competes. If you're ready for thoughtful, strategic, emotionally intelligent, and constructive feedback that strengthens your manuscript without flattening your voice, let's collaborate.
