I am a lifelong fiction reader and total book nerd with 30 years of reading experience and 20 years deep in romance specifically. I have been the person friends and classmates hand their writing to before anyone else sees it because they know I will be honest without being mean about it. That did not stop being true just because I moved it to Upwork.
I bring genuine emotional investment to every manuscript I touch. I am not skimming. I am reading your story the way your actual audience will, which means I catch the things you stopped seeing three drafts ago.
What I can help you with:
Beta Reading 📖: investing all of my emotion into your work so you know where your story falls flat and where I literally stood up out of my chair and started talking to myself about what just happened
Proofreading 🔍: catching grammar, spelling, punctuation, and all those sneaky typos before your work goes out into the world
Copyediting ✂️: cleaning up sentence flow, word choice, and consistency so everything reads smoothly from page one to the end
Line editing 🎯: looking at how your sentences and paragraphs work together so your story actually keeps people turning pages
I track changes with comments so you understand why I am suggesting each edit. And I always flag the lines and moments that are working beautifully 💖 because knowing what is strong is just as useful as knowing what needs fixing.
Your manuscript deserves a reader who actually cares. Let us talk. 😊
