Your book needs a bit of polish? Hire me to help!
I have a BA in English (literature, history, linguistics and translation) as well as an MA focused on English literature and cultural studies. I’m also passionate about books, and would love to help you get yours to the next level! If you’re not sure if we’d be a good fit, we can agree on a short sample to start with.
Line editing
A thorough look at the language of your text to make sure you’re getting across what you want, focusing on the style and voice. I will point out any big plot holes or issues if I see them, but this is meant to polish your manuscript on a sentence level, remove small inconsistencies and check word choice. I will provide detailed suggestions and feedback. 0.03€/word
Proofreading
When your book is almost ready to be published, but you want someone to have one last look for any leftover spelling issues and typos. 0.007€/word
French proofread
Do you have that one character who says a few words in French? There’s nothing worse than messing up a foreign language and realizing too late! Get some peace of mind by getting a native speaker (me!) to check it for you!
0.05€/word, 3€ minimum (or price of a ko-fi)
Copy editing
Spelling, grammar and punctuation check. You’re happy with the style and voice of your text but you want to make sure it’s the best it can be, removing repetitions and awkward phrasing. Similar to line-editing but more technical than stylistic.

Beta Reading
Want a reader’s first impressions to make sure your text hits the right notes? I will read it and send you detailed, honest feedback. Please message me with a plot summary and the length of your manuscript to get a quote.
Sensitivity Reading
I can offer a sensitivity reading of your manuscript for the following:
- Queerness (mostly bisexuality but also queer history, and more general queer rep)
- Mental health, depression, trauma response and PTSD
I will send you detailed feedback and suggestions.

I’m also happy to discuss custom rates if you have a handwritten manuscript to type up, or if you need a full rewrite. Please message me!
