Project details
As a fiction writer myself, I have a solid understanding of storytelling fundamentals. For years I have continued to learn more and more about the writing craft, and I know how to apply it. Just as well, I have mastery over the English language, it being the language I use to tell my own stories in. I have learned it from a young age as a foreign language, which ensured my ability to properly follow grammatical rules.
In terms of creative writing, I am self-taught, but with over ten years of experience, in which I learned many things on how to create complex characters, realistic dialogue and solid plot, among other aspects of the writing craft. I have practiced editing before in more than just my own writing, but by also switching manuscripts with fellow writers and giving insightful feedback.
The genre I am most familiar with is fantasy, with the target audience being YA, and medieval settings. This is not to say I will not accept other types of fiction, but my insights will be most valuable within this criteria.

About Alexandra
Writer, Editor and Proofreader | Inclination for Fiction
Constanta, Romania - 4:01 pm local time
Who am I?
In short, a child of Europe with an affinity for stories. Fiction has been a major part of my life for as long as I can tell. I started writing in middle grade (in English, despite being Romanian), and ever since, over ten years later, have bettered my skills in both language and the writing craft. It is my wish to now use the skills I have accumulated to help others push past their limits so they may publish a manuscript they are proud to have the world see.
How I work?
What I can do for you is proofreading and editing. Be warned that I am brutally honest when I comment on someone's manuscript. I will tell you all I find mistaken, but just as well, I will tell you where your strengths lie and all that is good with your story. Criticism hurts, I learned that firsthand, but it is through constructive criticism that we grow, and it is what I plan to help with.
If you think I may be a good fit to edit your manuscripts, please get in touch. Looking forward to hearing from you!
