I'm an experienced worker in many different fields. I am quick and ready to learn the best ways to leverage my abilities and experience to complete work efficiently.

We are a collaborative Yoruba language service team offering accurate and culturally authentic Yoruba translation, teaching, and proofreading services. Every project benefits from two Yoruba language experts reviewing the work, ensuring clarity, correctness, and proper cultural context at no extra cost to you. And if you are searching for someone to settle doubts and uncertainties you have about your book? I am just the right fit for that, I am an experienced beta reader, I love reading and can help you see things differently from my eyes as a reader. With us working together your book will be perfect and ready for publishing. Genres I read include but are not limited to: Romance, Thriller/mystery, Paranormal, Horror, Fantasy, Erotica, LGBTQA and Sci/Fi.

No AI used in my editing or writing. I’m Jen, and I’m the reader’s advocate. I’ve worked on close to 300 manuscripts and I still read 100–300 books a year across genre fiction, literary fiction, and nonfiction — not because I have to, but because I genuinely can’t stop. That means I know what’s actually getting published, what readers expect, and exactly where your story is likely to lose them before you waste another year revising in the wrong direction. I work primarily in genre fiction — science fiction, fantasy, romance, mysteries, thrillers, and historical. Whether you need honest developmental editing, line editing, or full ghostwriting support, I care whether your book actually reaches people. That means I’ll tell you the truth and give you practical, high-leverage solutions — not a demolition, but a focused toolkit with specific, usable options. What makes me different: I read on Kindle and dictate my reactions in real time. So you don’t just get a report or a draft — you get to see (or feel) how the story actually lands with readers, page by page. Authors regularly tell me this changes everything. I also tend to keep thinking about projects even after delivery — sometimes I’ll send a note days later because I couldn’t stop turning a plot problem over in my head. That’s just how I’m built. I offer a full range of services: Quick Kindle sample reads and first-chapter assessments Beta reads and manuscript assessments Developmental editing and line editing Full ghostwriting (from concept to finished manuscript) There’s an entry point wherever your project is right now, and credits carry forward on editing work. If you want someone who’ll tell you your book is perfect, I’m probably not your editor or ghostwriter. If you want someone who’ll tell you what’s actually not working, help you fix it efficiently, or write it with you — I’d love to work on your story. Member, Editorial Freelancers Association.

Send me your first 3 chapters, and I’ll identify the biggest issue weakening your manuscript for free, no strings attached. Most manuscripts don't fail because the writing is bad. They fail because the author is too close to see what's breaking it: pacing that stalls in the middle, voice inconsistencies that lose readers early, structural gaps that make agents pass without explanation. That is exactly what I diagnose and fix. With 7+ years of editing experience across fiction, nonfiction, memoir, self-help, and children's books, I have helped authors go from rejected drafts to 5-star published books and successful agent queries.

**I am on medical leave until further notice (extending beyond my original back to work date of 05/10). Please check back this fall (September 2026). Thank you, and looking forward to speaking then :)** I get it! You’ve read your book hundreds of times and can’t tell if it’s missing that certain something. You need a professional's perspective—someone who can step in and point out the good, the bad, and the ugly. Or perhaps they’ll say, “You’ve got something here.” I’m that person. I’ll read your manuscript and tell you what works and what doesn’t, all while being constructive, insightful, and friendly. Here are all the editing services I offer. I can do multiple, or one, whatever your book needs :) Developmental Editing: Stuck on a scene? Where to steer the plot? Wondering if your chapters pack the punch you’re hoping they do? Maybe you've gotten feedback that something just doesn't “land.” Or maybe you've been told your ending is “lackluster” or “disappointing.” I can help! I’ll read through, provide professional feedback on your developmental issue, and recommend how to fix it. Want just an overall check that everything checks out and you’re book is ready to move onto the next stage? I can provide a 3-8 page report providing feedback on things like plot, emotional pay-off, overall strengths, weaknesses, structure, organization, flow, pacing, and more. Just ask me for a developmental edit! Line Editing: “Your book is confusing,” “What does this mean?”, "I can't tell what you’re trying to say here,” “this isn't clear,” “the writing lacks emotion and imagery,” ever heard any of these? Well, leave them behind! I can go through your book line by line and bring the best out of your writing while maintaining your voice. I’ll get your point across when you get lost in the message, leading to complicated sentences or hard-to-understand phrases. Editorial Assessment: Is my book good enough? Will it appeal to readers of its genre? Can it stack up against those on the bestseller shelves? How are my characters? Relatable? Is the plot engaging? I’m just stuck, and I don't know where to go! Let me read it and provide a 3-8 page Editorial Assessment. I’ll tell you exactly what your next steps should be. It might be, “Great idea, but this part needs a bit of extra attention," or it might be, “next stop, New York Times!” I’ve seen it all, read it all, and edited it all. Let me be that professional eye that evaluates your book. After the Editing stage? I can give you some reader insight with Beta Reading. Not only do I read constantly for work, but books have been a passion of mine since I could first read words! I can give you an opinion before it hits the shelves. Let me take a look and tell you what readers may like, not like, be thrilled by, and whether or not your book will leave a lasting impression on them. Get a true reader's first impression! Need something a little different? I'm a certified Proofreader! Let me figure out if that needs to be a colon or a semicolon. Let me decipher the punctuation around quotation marks you don't remember being taught in Elementary School. I will treat your book like it's one of my own with a keen eye and find all those subtle proofreading nuances! Read all this and left going, “I'm just not sure what my book needs Leah!” Ask me!
