Your nonfiction manuscript should sound unmistakably like you—only clearer, stronger, and harder to put down. I’m a top rated nonfiction book editor with more than 10 years of book-editing experience and more than two decades in writing, communications, and branding. I’ve edited 65+ nonfiction titles for first-time and established authors, ghostwriters, entrepreneurs, coaches, academics, and subject-matter experts. My editing experience includes business, personal development, memoir, sports, technology, education, health, relationships, and practical how-to books. Depending on what your manuscript needs, I can provide: • Developmental editing: structure, organization, argument, pacing, and missing or repetitive material • Line editing: voice, flow, readability, tone, and sentence-level improvement • Copy editing: grammar, clarity, consistency, word choice, and Chicago style • Proofreading: a final check for errors before publication • AI-draft editing: turning stiff or generic AI-assisted material into natural, credible writing • English-language editing: polishing translated manuscripts and writing by non-native English speakers You’ll receive clear edits and comments in Microsoft Word using Track Changes, an editorial memo when the scope calls for one, and a clean edited file. I can also work in Google Docs when needed and accommodate US, Canadian, or British English. My job isn’t to turn your manuscript into something I would have written. It’s to understand what you’re trying to accomplish, identify what’s getting in the way, and strengthen the book without losing your voice. That approach has helped one client secure a literary agent and major publisher. Another client described me as the developmental editor they had spent more than a year trying to find. Send me your manuscript’s topic, word count, current stage, and the kind of editing you think it needs. If you’re not sure, send a sample and I’ll give you an honest recommendation.
