Über diesen Service
I will proofread your novel before publication
I'm a qualified proofreader and an award-winning fiction writer with over twenty years of experience in translating, editing and proofreading both fiction and non-fiction, providing top-quality English copy to strict deadlines. Let me iron out those last few errors for you! I will also check your manuscript for consistency and suggest minor edits if necessary.
What I can help with:
Spelling (UK or US) and typos
Grammar and sentence structure
Punctuation
Consistency
Readability
Please note: for this gig I don't offer structural editing, such as rewriting or rearranging large portions of the text, editing early drafts, and so on.
What you'll get:
Your document with changes tracked via Microsoft Word
Suggestions and comments if appropriate
I can also provide a clean document (i.e. with changes implemented) upon request
I hold a qualification in proofreading from the Publishing Training Centre (industry standard in the UK) and am a member of the UK's Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP).
I read and enjoy more books than anyone I know, and I look forward to reading yours!

FAQ
Do you work with UK or US English?
Both! I am a UK native speaker, but am comfortable working with the spelling, grammar and punctuation conventions of US English as well.
What document formats do you work with?
My preferred format is MS Word-compatible files (i.e. docx, doc or rtf). I have also trained in proofreading using Adobe's editing tools, so can use these if necessary for PDFs – however, please be aware that I will then mark changes using the editing tools. I cannot implement changes in PDF files.
Can you proofread PDFs?
I am trained in proofreading using Adobe's editing tools, so can use these if necessary for PDFs – however, please be aware that I will then mark changes using the editing tools. I cannot implement changes in PDF files.
Can you work with my preferred style guide?
Probably! I tend to create my own style sheets and checklists, but am usually happy to adhere to a specific style guide if you request this.
What genres do you work with?
Literary, SFF (and subgenres thereof), mystery and thriller, upmarket and others. I've recently fallen in love with the romantasy genre, and will always have time for a 1930s cosy crime novel or a WW2 mystery!
Do you proofread non-fiction?
Yes, I do! Previous non-fiction projects include a history of a major Scandinavian company, a recipe book, and various HR manuals and ebooks.
Do you have any references or reviews outside of Fiverr?
“Straightforward and clear with her thoughts and advice, yet always gives feedback with care and consideration. I doubt I would attempt to get any writing of a serious length published without asking for her input.” – Eleni Kyriacou, author of "The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou".
I've made some changes to my document – can you take another look at it?
I can handle a small number of revisions, but any major changes will need to be handled via a separate booking.
