Positive testimonials from an author after working together are so valuable. I had the pleasure of working with this author on his science fiction novella about an alternate universe.

I truly enjoy the experience of reading and editing the vast amount of unique stories. 💙 📚 🖋️

Commas exist to help clarify the meaning of a sentence. If used incorrectly, the message you’re trying to convey may change or cause ambiguity. 💙 🖋️ 📚

The comma: saving others from cannibalism since forever.

A Style Guide is an essential piece of the writing and editing process. It helps with organization and ensuring the details of your story remain the same from start to finish. As a copyeditor, I’ll create a Style Guide for you to maintain consistency and readability throughout your manuscript.
