Proofreading

Ideal for a book that has been through beta reading and just needs tidying up before publication. 

Copy Editing

Copy editing prepares the manuscript for print. This includes spelling, grammar and syntax, but also ensures consistency of style, plot, characterisation, and voice.   

Copy Editing with Critique

Ideal if you feel the mechanics of your story need some work. In addition to copy editing I will provide a detailed critique with suggestions for improvements at both sentence and structural level.

Manuscript Critique

A detailed critique from the editorial perspective, providing feedback on strengths and weaknesses, and giving suggestions for improvement. 

Custom Edits

If you are looking for proofreading or copy editing on business materials, non-fiction, academic writing, or short fiction, the custom edits package will be tailored to your project.

Fabulous editing services

I am so pleased with Amy’s editing services on my upcoming book, A Mountain of Mirrors and Starlight! She was so enthusiastic about the project and has such a keen attention to detail. I loved the open dialogue throughout the editing process and the follow up conversation afterwards. I think she wound up reading my MS almost as many times as I did! Nothing was too small for her and she was only too happy to go back and read sections after I’d acted on her instructions. In attention to being great at typo-spotting, it’s also clear she’s really engaged with the work, double-checking minute aspects of the plot and character development throughout.

10/10 would recommend.
