The non-fiction writer’s partner
for
clear, effective, and polished manuscripts
You know your audience and what it is looking for. You have written your text, but you suspect it would benefit from another set of eyes. Hiring a pro will help you look your absolute best, and ensure you avoid embarrassing errors.
Let me help you polish your manuscript before you self-publish or send it to your publisher.
Getting the support you need is a smart move. Hiring me to fine-tune your manuscript will help relieve your stress and boost your confidence before you publish, and after.
I can help in the following ways:
Ensure your text is clear and effective by identifying and clarifying passages that might confuse your readers
Tighten your text and make wording suggestions for maximum impact
Ensure your word usage, grammar, spelling, and punctuation are correct
Proofread your manuscript in its final format before it goes out into the world
In short, see things that you might have missed.
Think of me as a facilitator between you and your readers. I will be objective and honest as I gently challenge you to make your manuscript the best it can be.

What others say:
“I was very impressed with Ginny's attention to detail and the thoughtful approach she took while copy editing the project. She was able to clarify the language so that the material was easier for the reader to understand and follow. She also reduced repetition and improved the flow of the writing so it will read well as an audiobook . Throughout, Ginny raised excellent questions and made insightful comments, leading to some minor rewriting or additional content that made this a better book. Ginny was very easy to collaborate with and a pleasure to work with.
Now I understand why all writers need a good editor. I would definitely hire her again.
