Where the Magic Happens
Hello, I’m Nancy—Wordsmith Extraordinaire!
I have always enjoyed written and spoken words with all their denotations, connotations, and nuances.
As a writer, you want to share your significant ideas or delightful stories. You no doubt already know it is vital to have others read and provide feedback on your work. Let me help you polish your manuscript and support you through your publishing process.
As you explore this website, you will see I am proficient at offering development suggestions, content or copy editing, and proofreading. I am detail-oriented and dependable, making me an excellent choice for your writing team.
I look forward to hearing about your project and working with you! Contact me, and let’s begin a conversation.
Editorial Assessment
An editorial assessment is perfect for authors who want a comprehensive manuscript overview before editing starts. This service offers feedback on flow, pacing, what’s working or not, areas of excellence or improvement, and an overall review of your book from a reader’s perspective.
Copy Editing
Copy editing occurs after content editing but before proofreading. The purpose of copy editing is to polish the manuscript through formatting, style, and text accuracy so that it is clear and cohesive while maintaining the author’s voice and meaning.
Content Editing
Content editing occurs when I provide feedback to help you advance your manuscript to a publishable standard. Content editing is focused on structural elements, readability, and other essential aspects such as character development and plot inconsistencies (for fiction).
Proofreading
Proofreading is the last step in the editorial process to correct any errors that might have been missed during the content and copy editing steps before your manuscript is published. Unlike copy editing, in proofreading there is no rewriting or revising involved.
A combination of Grace and Professionalism
Nancy has been a great support as I reached the stage of editing my book. She has been extremely patient with me, allowing me to advance at my pace and sending occasional nudges on how I am doing.
She is very prompt and quick to respond. Her editing has made my manuscript shine. She has truly given me the quality of her work without taking away my voice and style.
Thank you, Nancy. Your skills are superb, and your wonderful personality shines through it all.
Amazing Work!
Nancy has proven to be an incredible editor for my current book. She can view the project holistically and offers meaningful content edits from that standpoint.
Nancy also has an amazing eye for detail. She was able to find copy edits that I simply could not see, as well as being able to work with my conversational voice, which may not match all the traditional grammar rules. I have been incredibly pleased with her work.
