I provide fiction-focused editing and proofreading services, including line editing, copy editing, and beta reading. My experience includes editing my own fiction projects, conducting detailed revisions, and applying craft-based editing principles through independent study and coursework in creative writing. My work focuses on improving clarity, consistency, sentence flow, and overall readability while preserving the author’s voice. I regularly identify grammar and punctuation issues, awkward phrasing, and narrative inconsistencies, and provide reader-focused feedback on pacing, character clarity, and story logic.
