Copy Editing

We identify and fix spelling and grammar errors, tone and style inconsistencies, and awkward syntax while maintaining your author voice.

What authors say about us

“A rare gem in the editing world”

“Alexa is a rare gem in the editing world. Trusting her with my YA novel felt like a welcomed hug throughout the process, which then turned into an incredibly encouraging push toward the publishing journey. Nearly one hundred thousand words were combed through with Alexa’s obvious talent and care. From the first meeting, she understood the meaning behind this book, and with remarkable integrity, carried that in her work. I am beyond grateful, and cannot wait for her to care for my future projects like a mother for a child, a surgeon for a heart, or a talented editor for a literary dream.”
