I assist authors with all stages of the self-publishing process, including editing, proofreading, formatting for KDP and Ingram Spark, and designing or sourcing book covers. I am a lifelong lover of literature and have been working in the publishing industry since I completed high school in 2010. I worked as the lead editor for the hybrid publishing company Lifestyle Entrepreneurs Press from 2016 - 2022 and am currently contracted by multiple publishing consultants and small publishing companies. I do, however, love working one-on-one with authors and businesspeople through Upwork when my schedule permits! I have over ten years of experience in developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, freelance writing (articles, blogs, how-to guides, educational curriculum, and product descriptions), book cover design, fact-checking, and formatting books and magazines for various publishing platforms. I have edited fiction novels, memoirs, young adult sci-fi/fantasy novels, creative nonfiction, short stories, children's books, biographies, academic papers, and educational texts. The most common projects I work on are in the personal-development/self-help genres. In 2013, I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Colorado Boulder, and in 2015, I obtained my Master of Science degree in Applied Psychology from Trinity College Dublin. I have experience in using multiple style guides, including APA and the Chicago Manual of Style, in both book publishing and academic journal writing.

I am a freelance editor, proofreader, researcher, and writer coach with over six years’ experience of working in academic and educational editing and researching, most recently as an editor of literature study guides at SuperSummary, journal articles at eContent Pro, and PhD theses at the University of Cambridge and the London School of Economics. I have a PhD in modernist literature and I primarily offer editing and researching services for academic and educational projects in humanities subjects such as literary studies and history. I also have experience editing nonfiction, memoir, poetry, and historical fiction. I am passionate about preserving the unique voice and style of each client while sharpening the text and making good ideas shine.

You did not spend months writing a book to have it dismissed because of a comma. You wrote it to be read, to be felt, and to be remembered. I am a book editor and proofreader who takes that seriously. My role is to stand between your manuscript and your readers as a final line of defence, catching every error, tightening every sentence, and making sure the only thing standing out in your book is your writing. Whether you are preparing for self-publication on Amazon KDP or submitting to a traditional publisher, I bring the technical precision and creative insight your work deserves without ever touching your voice. Developmental editing This is where we look at the full architecture of your manuscript. I assess plot structure, character consistency, pacing, point of view, and narrative logic. If your story has holes, contradictions, or chapters that slow the reader down, I will identify them and give you a clear, actionable roadmap for revision. This service is ideal for authors who have finished a first draft and need honest, high-level feedback before going any further. Line editing Line editing works at the sentence and paragraph level. I refine the rhythm of your prose, eliminate weak phrasing, tighten overwritten passages, and sharpen the emotional impact of every scene. Your voice stays intact throughout. The goal is not to rewrite your book but to make it sound like the best version of you. Copy editing Copy editing is the technical backbone of a polished manuscript. I correct grammar, punctuation, syntax, and spelling to a professional standard, following the Chicago Manual of Style. I also flag inconsistencies in character names, timelines, and terminology to ensure your manuscript is coherent and internally consistent from the first page to the last. Proofreading Proofreading is the final gatekeeper before your work reaches readers. After all other editing is complete, I perform a meticulous read specifically for lingering typos, formatting errors, incorrect punctuation, and the small but jarring mistakes that survive every earlier pass. Strong error detection at this stage is what separates a professional publication from an amateur one. AI content editing If you have used AI tools to assist with your draft, I will edit and refine the output so it reads as fully human, natural, and consistent in voice. A thorough editorial pass is now an essential step for anyone working with AI-assisted writing, and I ensure the final manuscript reflects your ideas the way only a human editor can. Not every author arrives with a finished draft. Some have the ideas, the expertise, or the story, but need someone to translate them into polished, publishable prose. That is the other half of what I do. Alongside my editorial work, I am an experienced ghostwriter who can take your vision from concept to completed manuscript, writing entirely in your voice so that the words on the page sound like you at your very best. Fiction ghostwriting I write across romance, literary fiction, mystery, thriller, and contemporary drama. Whether you need a complete novel, a series outline brought to life, or specific chapters written to fill gaps in your manuscript, I bring the same narrative precision to your fiction that I bring to my editorial work. Non-fiction ghostwriting I work across a wide range of non-fiction niches, including personal development and self-help, business and entrepreneurship, health and wellness, memoir and biography, faith and spirituality, parenting and family, and finance and investing. If you have the knowledge and the audience but need someone to organise your ideas into a book that actually gets read, I can build that manuscript for you from the ground up. How I work All edits are delivered inside Microsoft Word Track Changes, giving you full visibility and complete control over every change. You decide what stays and what goes. I follow the Chicago Manual of Style as my technical standard, work to clear timelines, and provide consistent communication from the moment we start until the final file is in your hands. You did not come this far with your manuscript to publish something less than your best. Send me a message, and I will provide a complimentary 1,000-word sample edit or a ghostwriting sample so you can see the quality for yourself before you commit to anything.

If meticulous, reliable, and hardworking are the qualities you’re looking for in an editor, then you have come across the correct profile. Hi, my name is Fahmida, and I am a qualified fiction editor and proofreader with 4+ years of experience. I was a teacher with 15 years of experience before I completed my certification from SA Writer’s College, which is a certified institute, with branches both in the UK and New Zealand. I am always revising and learning my craft, so what does that mean? It means, I read the latest books on writing and editing, attend writing and editing workshops, and make sure I am always reading fiction books. How does this help my craft? Well, it means I understand 3 or 4 act-structure, and can identify pacing and flow issues, as well as character growth and tension. I am particularly good at editing romance and would consider it my niche genre to work in. As a fiction editor, I offer the following services: - Developmental editing - Copy Editing - Proofreading - Line Editing - Plot review I work with all genres excluding sci-fi and horror. While we speak and write British English in South Africa, many of my clients are from the USA, so I am well conversant in American English spelling and grammar differences, and I can edit according to the Chicago Manual of Style, as well as the Oxford Style Guide.

Allow me to introduce myself: I am a born and raised prairie girl who now resides in the city, though I would love to find my way back to the farm eventually. I am a University of Regina graduate with a Diploma in Liberal Arts, with a major in History, which sounds like an odd way to become a writer. History was a progression that started with a natural interest and led to a lifelong passion. I found that through long hours of research and many meticulous papers, my writing skills were honed. Upon graduation I was fortunate enough to find work in various jobs which allowed me to use my natural skills and pursue the passions I love. Soon I found my love of freelancing, and here I am on Upwork. Writing has always been my passion. Creative writing, editing, proofreading, resume writing, blogging; you name it, I love it. I love working with people, am easy going, reliable, and I always meet my deadlines. Every job, no matter how large or small, is important to me. I am new to Upwork, but have a ton of experience in the workplace. I love a varied environment and my previous jobs have included: blogger, novelist, children’s author, proof reader, editor, graphic designer, website designer, and photographer. My interests are as varied as my skillset. I love music, art (I tend to try and claim I can paint), yoga, fishing, crafting, and reading. My children are very important to me, as well as my volunteer work. I am a huge supporter of animal rescue. Check out my portfolio for samples of my work.

Hi there! My name is Grace, and I am a full-time English and Creative Writing professor at a private college in Florida, part-time freelance editor, and writer in my free time. Although I stay busy, I am always looking for new ways to expand my skill sets and broaden my marketability here on Upwork. As a professor in my field, I am knowledgeable in both academic/research style writing, as well as creative writing. I have been editing and proofreading freelance for over six years now and am also well-versed in most areas of this kind of work. Besides all that, I am married and have one son, who is a huge reason for my wanting to be the best person I can be. I also am biracial (Malaysian Chinese and American-Caucasian) and partially fluent in Mandarin, as I grew up in Malaysia. Please message me if you are in need of a proofreader or editor who is willing, efficient, and capable. :)

You finished the book. Don't let a generic edit be what stops it from selling. I'm a developmental, line, and copy editor and proofreader for self-published authors and small publishing houses. I'm currently the trusted editor for a publishing services company handling 1000+ projects a year, where I've worked on everything from 1K-word self-help books to a 205K-word technical manuscript. One client put it simply: "She didn't just edit my manuscript. She elevated it." Want proof before you commit? Send me a sample chapter and I'll return a short edit, free, no obligation, so you can see exactly how I'd handle your manuscript. Here's what that looks like in practice: I provide developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading for nonfiction, fiction, self-help, memoir, and romance manuscripts, using publishing-house workflows: editorial letters, style sheets, Track Changes, and Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) standards. For self-published authors, I also prepare manuscripts for Amazon KDP, so your file is ready for Kindle and paperback publication once editing is complete. What sets the process apart: • Every project includes a tracked-changes copy and a clean final copy, so you always see exactly what changed • I flag structural and consistency issues other editors miss: pacing, repetition, plot or argument gaps • I'm comfortable handling technically dense manuscripts, including content with embedded data, formulas, or specialized terminology that requires careful editorial judgment to edit around without disrupting accuracy • I'm comfortable refining AI-assisted drafts so they read naturally and pass as fully human-written Genres I work in most: self-help, business/leadership, memoir, faith-based, and AI-assisted nonfiction. (For romance specifically, I work primarily on line and developmental edits rather than full publishing-house workflows.) Click Invite to Job or send a message. I respond promptly.
