I am a highly skilled phlebotomist with over 14 years of diverse medical experience, including a role as an ER charge nurse. I am now pivoting towards remote opportunities in Proofreading, Editing, AI annotation, and Creative Writing. My extensive background in patient care equips me with a unique perspective, allowing me to convey complex ideas with clarity and empathy. I excel at transforming intricate concepts into engaging narratives, ensuring they resonate with the intended audience. Whether it's crafting compelling content or providing insightful analysis, I bring a meticulous approach and a keen eye for detail. I am eager to collaborate on projects that challenge my creativity and leverage my expertise. Let's discuss how I can contribute to your team's success.

I currently offer developmental editing and beta reading services for fiction, with a focus on science fiction and fantasy. I'm happy to provide short edited samples (10 pages maximum) for free; this is a good way to see if my editorial style is compatible with you. Don't hesitate to reach out with an excerpt of your work! My developmental edit process includes: - 2 passes (one "readerly" pass, followed by a slower, commenting pass) - an editorial feedback document; lengthy, generally 15+ pages - a commented manuscript - optional: tracked changes within the manuscript; if declined, NO changes will be made to the manuscript text - continued revision-based discussion via Upwork or email (no further passes without a new contract) I strive to complete developmental edits within 4-5 weeks. I am happy to look at manuscript samples (no more than 10 pages) and provide comments on those samples at no charge. I charge $0.025 per word for developmental edits. My beta reading process includes: - requesting a list of 4-6 questions for my feedback focus - 1 pass - 1 feedback document organized around your questions; this can be either general feedback focused on the manuscript as a whole, or piecemeal feedback (part-by-part, etc.), according to your preference - optional: continued revision-based discussion via Upwork or email (no further passes) I strive to complete beta reading contracts within 7-10 days, though piecemeal feedback may be slower for longer manuscripts. For works under 80k words, I charge $100 for whole manuscript feedback and $150 for piecemeal feedback. For works over 80k words, I charge $0.00125 per word for general feedback and $0.0019 per word for piecemeal feedback. Genres notwithstanding, I have a deep love for stories that make readers wrestle with fresh perspectives and uncertainties in personal, intimate ways. I have a powerful curiosity about fictional worlds, which makes me fiendishly keen to verify details and maintain consistency. This also means I’m always eager to hear authors gush about their world-building! As an editor, I aim to help stories connect with readers in the way the author intends. My time working with self-translating writers has intensified my appreciation for this nuanced connection stories forge between people; I have learned that one of my greatest strengths is my willingness to ask authors exploratory, difficult questions about their work and to listen to the whole of their answers, however intricate or arcane. I strive to use this compassionate, detail-oriented approach to help authors however I can. If you're looking for an editor who will embrace your story for the reasons you're writing it in the first place, I am the right editor for you. Let's make sure your words reach your readers exactly how you want them to. Developmental Edits provided for: "The City of Nov Salus" by C.

Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Jimena González Lebrero, and I am a literature lover. I have spent all my life surrounded by books. Since childhood, I have dreamed of having huge bookshelves full of books of all kinds and genres. Working with books eventually became my other dream, and I’m happy to say I have achieved it. As for my qualifications, I hold a bachelor’s degree in English language and literature, I am an English-Spanish translator, and I have a teaching degree. Moreover, driven by a personal search for growth, I completed the four-year training course on Astrology. But that’s just the formal part of it. Throughout this time, I have mentored, corrected, and proofread over 25,000 essays and papers thanks to my 15 years of experience as a literature teacher. As a result, I have developed an uncanny eye for detail and broadened my vocabulary to an extent I never thought possible. This profession has also opened the possibility of reading and studying many literary texts, everlasting classics, and outstanding contemporary books in-depth. Besides being trained for it, I am the professional proofreader and translator who can take your texts to the next level because I just love what I do. Thus, I feel very fortunate to be able to blend my passion with my skills to create the kinds of texts I’d love to read. I have been teaching how to write and doing it for myself privately for many years. And during the last few years, I have been working as a freelance ghostwriter, and successfully delivered several articles on different topics. I currently work as a translator, proofreader, and writer. I can help you in the journey to bringing the wow factor to every project with flawless grammar and a solid structure. If you need accountability, passion, and obsessive attention to detail, I’m the person for the job. Look forward to working with you, Jimena González Lebrero
