About
I offer quality proofreading, copy or line editing, and formatting for a wide variety of manuscripts in preparation for final publication. I have a keen eye for and particularly enjoy finding all types of errors, such as syntax, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and typos, as well as consistency of voice. I work quickly while maintaining accuracy and work closely with my clients to polish their final draft and make it shine. I am happy to sign any NDA documents as needed. I enjoy reading scripts and manuscripts in many diverse genres. Working with different authors, I take great pride in my ability to maintain the writer's unique voice while delivering an error-free, highly improved final draft ready for publication.

Working with Celia on my manuscript was remarkably gratifying. She was exceptionally modest and professional. Her work was of the most elevated quality, meticulous, and competent. When it comes to editing, she’s a class act!"

Celia is wonderful! She is personable, and her work is phenomenal. I am so happy I went with her and do hope to use her services in the future for my series. Going through financial hardships and still wanting a polished novel to send out, she was willing to work with me. I am so grateful for her help and understanding. Look no further if you need editing because she really is the best! Thank you Celia!!!
