One of the things that I love most about editing is, ultimately, the collaboration I get to experience when working with authors. I'm not driving, I'm a passenger with a map and a suggestion of a route to take. Where you go is up to you!
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
But not just any tip, folks! I want the down and dirty nitty-gritty! No vague suggestions, such as thinking positively and giving marketing a try! I want to know one thing that moved the needle for you as an author. Aaaaannnnddddd GO!

It's important to ask this of yourself, as the information it yields is invaluable. Crushing it? Sounds like you hit upon something that works for you! So far on track? Progress! Haven't started? Ooohhh, this is a good one! Let's dig in!

Authors who suffer from impostor syndrome are the dreamers who picked up a book and were inspired to write their own stories. Then, one day, someone picked up their book and became inspired, too.

I'm on Fiverr, which is where I find many terrific clients, and get my terrific reviews. I know it's scary to reach out to someone and hope they won't scam you. Never be afraid to ask questions!
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
If an author, in a character's dialogue, says, "X happened, and we don't support that," it comes across vastly different from "X happened to me as a child, and it shaped my beliefs." It's all about understanding.

I want you to know, there is no straight line to publishing a book, and no author's journey is like anyone else's. But despite it being frustrating, this is entirely normal. Embrace the chaos, and when you need help, reach out!
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
I opened my doors in response to authors receiving critical, unkind, and cruel feedback. Knowing there was no excuse for a keyboard warrior's verbal diarrhea, I modeled my business on kind, constructive, and actionable feedback.

I want you to know, Dallas, I know, and I see you! 😉 Every client who books with me is invited to be a guest on my podcast, Positive Vibes.
Interested to know what all the fuss is about? Season 6 will be here before you know it!
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
I can always tell when the year turns over because there's an uptick in inquiries and orders. I love it! While authors write all year long, nothing gets people to snap to attention more than the inspiring possibilities of a blank year-canvas.
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
January is always filled with promise and hope for the next twelve months, but not everyone has a plan to get there. Are you going to make 2026 your year to become a published author? Let's make it happen! Drop me a DM with no obligation.
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
Please note that English is the only language I speak fluently. But that's why I am contacted with translation-style requests. In these cases, authors have works in English they ask for help on (expressions, nuances, etc.).
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
When you book a read with me, we work together to elevate your piece, and you are in the driver's seat the entire time! I will always offer my opinion, but that does not obligate you to take it in any way.
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
My clients get a line-by-line read of their manuscript. I use my own eyeballs, not AI. I catch typos, plot holes, and little grammar errors. I also ask questions in the comments when something strikes me during the story.
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
This is one of my favorite parts about my job. Yes, I'm looking for typos, grammar errors, plot holes, etc. But when that plot twist hits? Oh... there's nothing better!
Is 2026 the year you're going to write your book? It won't write itself!
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
Years ago, when I began this business, I realized how unfortunately rare it was for authors to receive constructive feedback with actionable suggestions, all in a positive manner.
Remember, it's only a month or so to the new year!
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
How many of you are participating in this 30-day writing challenge? If you haven't had any luck putting together your novel this year, why not take a leap of faith and see if this is a good fit? You know where I'll be when you're done!
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
I know it's a very busy, very trying time. But creatives tend to thrive in the face of adversity. Star planning now! You won't be less overloaded/stressed/busy come January 1.
I'm happy to help you believe in yourself, too. 😃
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
I take a team approach when I'm editing and utilize track changes. This way, you can make an informed choice on every dash, dot, comma, typo, and plot point I mention.
Questions? Comments? Hit me up in a DM! I love to chat. 😃
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
If any of you are in need, I will be checking in from time to time (depending on the Wi-Fi!). Feel free to leave me a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! And if not, I'll be back on August 19.

Welcome to Season 5 of the podcast about writers, for writers. In our first episode, we are chatting once again with the incredible K. M. Ryan, discussing her book, A Spring in Her Step.

Podcasting has given me an opportunity to help my clients promote their books in a casual, fun way as we discuss writing! Want to hear about the struggles of ordinary/extraordinary writers? Keep your eyes peeled right here!
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #copyediting #proofreading
I like to be upfront about my schedule, turnaround time, and fees. I will read through your manuscript line by line. I will not run it through an AI system. And above all else, I will do my absolute best as a member of your team!
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices #proofreader #copyediting
When I look at my ebook inventory, I smile. So many of the books that I have read and proudly own are those from folks I cherish as friends. I want to know, who are some of your favorite indie authors? Tag them below!

It's not unusual when I'm reading through a manuscript to mark a line for promotional materials. It could be a quote, a description, or even internal dialogue, but whatever it is, it's enough to make you stop and think about what you're reading.
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices
Some of you are aware I'm a mom, so you might be asking why I'm working on a weekend celebrating mothers (in this corner of the world!). Simple! I've committed a block of time to a client and intend to make good on it. And also? I love what I do! 😃
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices
The fact remains that this number is quite dependent on the writer. It depends on your grove and what you're most comfortable doing!
Need someone to read over your work? DM me and let's chat!
#ProofPositiveAuthorServices
I have always considered the relationship between author and editor to be sacred, and this has always been, and will continue to be, a safe space.
Drop me a DM! Let's see if we'll work well together!
