EDITING
You want your copy to entertain, educate, persuade, or bring awareness. At the end of the day, you want a better book, a better proposal, a better essay, or a better resume.
This is where I come in.
My intent is to polish your words so that they're unambiguous, readable, enjoyable, more precise, and accurate without losing your message or voice. My ultimate desire is to see your work shine.
I offer two basic levels of editing: Copyediting and Proofreading, and two higher levels of editing: Line editing and Developmental editing.
With Developmental Editing, I focus on:
-
Critique of theme or thesis
-
Target audience
-
Development of ideas
-
Overall structure
-
Hands-on guidance & walk-through
With Line Editing, I focus on:
-
Line-by-line editing
-
Intended audience
-
Eliminating jargon
-
Organization
-
Design and style
-
Conciseness
-
Eliminating ambiguity while maintaining author’s voice and style
With Copyediting, I pay attention to:
-
Grammar
-
Vocabulary
-
Spelling
-
Punctuation
-
Capitalization
-
Syntax
-
Word overuse
With Proofreading, this will involve minor tweaks and corrections in Punctuation, Spacing, Spelling, and Grammatical errors
All levels of editing will be accompanied by a complimentary critique of up to 400 words for manuscripts and reports, and up to 200 words for articles, press releases and resumes.

CONTENT CRITIQUE
So you’ve got your book manuscript or report thoroughly edited. Now what?
Simply getting your book edited, no matter how thorough the edit, really isn’t nearly enough. It's time to get a professional and unbiased pair of eyes to constructively critique your text, an expert who won’t simply tell you what you want to hear, but will tell you what you need to hear in order to get your work to that level of greatness.
With this service, your work will be methodically reviewed and you’ll be provided with constructive, unbiased and thorough feedback on the following areas:
FICTION MANUSCRIPT

Structure

Dialogue and characterization

NONFICTION, ARTICLES, ESSAYS

Strength of theme/thesis
-

NOTE: This is a critique only - no editing included.
GHOSTWRITING
You have a creative idea or concept for a book. Perhaps you've had this idea for years, or maybe it just came to you a couple of months ago. Only problem is… you’re not sure how to put it down on paper, much less turn it into a book.
This is where I come in to make your life a little easier.
As a ghostwriter, I’ll bring to life what you’re unable to put down on paper on your own. I’ll be your shadow, turning your vision into mine, giving it voice and saving you time needed to focus on your business and hustle. That’s right, we’ve all got hustles we need to focus on.
I’ll work with you every single step of the way from the conception of your book to its completion – my goal is to ensure you get the service you expect and even beyond.
Let's say... you have
-
An idea but nothing written
-
An outline and nothing else
-
A draft or bunch of notes you want included in the manuscript, and nothing else.
If any of the above sounds like you, rest assured I’ll take it from here and help you get your book done. That’s right – your book will get DONE. Remember, I’m here to help you shine.
Also - lest I forget - you retain all rights and credits. I’m a ghost, remember? So I remain behind the scenes (or even disappear!) while you shine alongside your book.
Don’t wait years to publish a book, or wait for a ‘right time’. The right time is now. And I can help you make your publishing dream a reality.
Once you contact me, here’s what happens:
-
I analyze your project need and request
-
I review any existing material you have relating to this idea
-
I provide you with a quote
If you choose to go with me, here’s what happens next:
-
Signing of contracts and all that paperwork stuff
-
Initial interviews (2-3) to discuss book idea
-
Outline of project
-
Provide you with 1st chapter, and we discuss changes
-
Provide you with complete 1st draft, and we discuss changes
-
Provide you with 2nd draft, and we discuss changes
-
Provide you with 3rd and final draft
-
I fade away, and you shine!
I’ll ghostwrite on the following genres/subject matters only:
Fiction
Drama/Romance (clean, non-erotica)
Christian
Literary Fiction
Women's Fiction
Nonfiction
Christian/Inspirational
Philosophy/Aesthetics
Literature
Pets
Self-help
Beauty/Lifestyle
Children/Family
Women's issues
Memoir/Autobiography
I'm waiting to hear from you. Contact me today and let me help you turn your dream to reality.
NOTE: I do not offer Ghostwriting services for academic essays or reports.
