How Does It Work?
Step 1: Contact me with information about your manuscript and whether you need editing or proofreading. I'm also happy to answer questions. I'll get back to you within a business day.Step 2: Send me about 1,000 words of your manuscript for a free sample edit or proofread, so you can get a feel for my editing style. I won't ever make changes directly to your text; I use Track Changes in Word or Suggested Edits in Google Docs. You'll have the power to accept or reject any changes I suggest.Step 3: I'll send you a contract and an invoice for 10% of the cost of your project. After you've returned those to me, send me your manuscript, and I'll get to work!Step 4: You'll receive a marked-up copy of your manuscript, a style sheet documenting the editing choices I made, and an invoice for the remaining cost of your project.

About Me
Hey! I'm Andrea. I'm a neurodivergent editor and writer. I love helping people polish their work! I'm working on a Certificate in Copyediting from the University of California, San Diego, which includes a course in copyediting fiction.I enjoy reading and editing all genres, but my favorites are every kind of speculative fiction: fantasy, science fiction, horror, magical realism, and dystopia, in any possible combination. The weirder, the better!
