Book Editor for Hire​

It's difficult to notice mistakes in your own writing because you read what you expect to see. As a professional manuscript editor, my services ensure your material is error-free and written to the highest quality to stand out in today's competitive book market.​​
​Don’t let bad grammar, awkward phrasing and syntax (sentence structure), or a poor use of vocabulary deter potential readers. I will polish and perfect your writing so readers can enjoy your book and immerse themselves in your characters and story instead of mistakes, typos, weak writing or inconsistencies. They will want to read more, have a positive impression of your work and be more inclined to give a favourable review.

The majority of work I carry out for clients is the Copy-editing Service. As well as correcting grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors, for this service I ensure consistency, anglicise US text, restructure sentences to improve the flow, correct dialogue punctuation, remove repetition and redundant wording, and much more.

If you would like to hire my editorial services to ensure your book is ready for publication or submission to a literary agent/publisher, I offer competitively priced services. A timescale is discussed prior to work commencing, so the client has a set time frame for when the work will be delivered. I also provide regular updates to keep clients up to date with my progress together with details of the changes and amendments I am making.
​
The charges for my Manuscript Assessment and Ebook Formatting Service are set rates with no hidden extras. For my Proofreading and Copy-editing services I charge per 1,000 words, not per mistake or by the hour.
