I am a content and copy editor with seven years of experience. I will provide two full copy edits on your manuscript to help it shine, plus formatting it to industry standards if you are planning to submit your story to literary magazines. I can copy edit almost any project, but please note I am not the best candidate for hardcore gore and sex.

I spent four years as a selector and copy editor for a literary magazine, and three years providing critiques on short and long fiction for authors wanting to go on submission. I am a detail oriented perfectionist, which helps me spot those tiny errors that are easy to miss but irksome to publishers. After my thorough copy edits, your manuscript will be dressed to impress!

For copy edits, I will:

• check grammar, spelling, and punctuation
• tweak sentence structure for clarity
• cut out extraneous words
• check viewpoint and tense continuity
• change repetitious words
• provide overall feedback/comments
• format into standard manuscript format (if desired)
  
  I use track changes for copy edits so you can see exactly what I've altered, and will leave overall feedback in comments. I offer two full rounds of copy edits so we can discuss and collaborate on making your story the absolute best.
