Fiction Editing Services
Everyone loves a good book. You want to write a great one.
Whether you’re developing your first draft or need someone to proofread
your final manuscript, I can help.
Welcome to Acres of Ink Book Editing
Hi, I’m Kim, a professional editor and proofreader from the UK. I offer a range of editing services to authors, whether their goal is to self-publish or submit their novel to agents and publishers.
It’s no secret that writing is hard. My job is to make it a little easier, by helping you write the best quality book you can—without compromising on your creative vision.
Editing Services
Sample Edit
Novels can be intensely personal things. I offer a sample edit of up to 5,000 words to ensure you’re happy with the working style before we start.
Developmental Edit
A developmental edit guides you through all the elements of what makes a book great: structure, plot arcs, characters, consistency and world-building.
Proofreading
Proofreading is the final check before publication. I ensure your manuscript is free of typos and any formatting issues that might distract from your story.
Kim did an excellent job editing my absolute monster of a novel. Her endless patience, insightful commentary, constructive criticisms and enthusiastic suggestions for the future have been enormously helpful.
