I will proofread and edit up to 1000 words of your book

By the time you finish writing a book, you can no longer see it. Your brain autocorrects the missing word, skates over the doubled phrase, and forgives the sentence that made sense at two in the morning. This micro gives up to one thousand words of your manuscript the fresh, professional eyes it needs: flawless proofreading and editing from an editor with more than eight years of experience across fiction and non fiction.

The edit fixes grammar, spelling and punctuation, smooths sentences for flow and readability, and checks consistency of style, tone and formatting throughout the excerpt, all while preserving the thing that matters most, which is your voice. You receive two files back: a tracked changes version showing every edit made, and a clean polished copy ready to use, so nothing happens to your words without your seeing it.

Novels, memoirs and non fiction are all welcome. Send your excerpt as a document along with a note on your intended audience and whether you prefer British or American conventions, and the edit follows your lead.

The complete book editing service behind this taster takes on full manuscripts at any length. A thousand words is a real, meaningful sample of an editor's judgement, and the smartest audition before trusting anyone with your whole book.
