Unleash Your Story
Copyediting and Proofreading Services
Helping authors to tell their stories and publish with confidence!
Have you completed writing your manuscript, and do you want to publish it?
But now, you’re asking yourself if it’s ready for the entire world to read…
Maybe you worked closely with a developmental editor or received feedback from your Beta readers.
You have revised and rewritten it multiple times and done a decent self-edit.
Yet, you know you’ll benefit from hiring a copyeditor or proofreader to give you that little nudge to get over the finish line.
You most probably need a second set of eyes at this stage because you’re too close to your story.
This is where I come in and review your manuscript or writing project to ensure it’s error-free before publishing.
Testimonial
“I absolutely loved working with you, Carien. You were so easy to chat to, and enthusiastic about helping bring my story to life. You went above and beyond for me, and I’ll be forever grateful to you.
I loved sharing my book with you and got excited to get my feedback from you. You helped me believe in my story and to see I had something good under all the grammar mistakes. Your feedback was helpful but never too critical, so I still felt I had something special here to share.
I have a much better understanding of what is involved in the editing process now and the kind of style/sentence structure that is recommended for my genre, helping me tweak certain sentences to create a better-sounding novel. The process was pretty straightforward, and you worked with me to any deadlines, keeping me in the loop with where you were at each week. You also answered the many questions I had about the process and my book in general.”

My Mission
I firmly believe in fostering a collaborative partnership between writer and editor. Through open communication and mutual respect, we work together to refine your vision and elevate your writing to new heights. This collaborative synergy not only results in polished prose but also cultivates a sense of confidence and pride in your work.
Copyediting Services
Copy editing is done after a developmental edit and line edit, and before proofreading. Copy editors check for grammar, spelling, tone and style deviations, wordiness, clunky transitions, confusing syntax, problematic or misused words, and uneven flow. They also improve the readability, coherence, and consistency of the text and leave feedback for the writer.
Proofreading Services
Proofreading is the final step in the editing process before publication. Proofreading addresses issues involving grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and formatting.
