My job is to help your writing be the best that it can be.
Writing a book, a short story, an article, or a report takes hard work and dedication. To be at the point where you're searching for an editor is a major achievement—congratulations on that! Whether you choose to self-publish or submit to a traditional publisher, you want your work to be the best that it can be. That's where an editor comes in. I offer structural editing, stylistic editing, copy editing, and proofreading.
Please contact me to discuss your project.

There is nothing like a professional editor to help take your work to the next level. I highly recommend Melissa's editing services."
