Package Deal

Between you, your creative vision, and publication? The last major hurdle is polish. I'm here to make your manuscript shine—clean, consistent, and confidently you—without sanding off the voice that makes it special.

This comprehensive package combines copyediting and proofreading into one streamlined process, giving your manuscript the complete editorial polish it needs before publication. Instead of managing two separate services and timelines, you get both essential editing phases at a significant discount with coordinated delivery.

As a romance and fantasy girlie who also devours romantasy, erotica, and sci‑fi, I know the beats, tropes, and worldbuilding expectations readers crave. I'll smooth the prose, tighten pacing at the sentence level, flag continuity gaps (magic systems, tech logic, timelines, titles/ranks), align character voice, and make sure your terminology and tone stay consistent across chapters. Then, after you've made your revisions, I'll do a final proofreading pass to catch any remaining typos and ensure everything is publication-ready.
