What is a proofread?

This is ideal for writers who are happy with their story and ready to submit to literary agencies or publishers or who are self-publishing. This is not an edit but a final check of your manuscript. Specific comments in the lines of your manuscript aim to catch inconsistencies and mistakes, including grammar and spelling errors.

Who is it for?

Whether you have a first or almost final draft, I would like to help elevate your manuscript. I believe in a collaborative approach, where I make suggestions to improve your manuscript but allow you to implement the changes (I am always happy to discuss if needed). I edit with clear communication and positivity in mind – I want our collaboration to be useful and I want your book to succeed.

Fiction is my specialty, especially historical fiction and crime, thriller, mystery, and suspense. I read broadly and enjoy anything that is dark, quirky, magical, intense, funny, or unexpected.

I am available for manuscript assessments, developmental edits, line edits, proofreads, and submission package assessments. If unsure which would suit your writing project best, we can discuss and decide together. My services are always bespoke and will be tailored to your project’s needs.

I would love to learn more about you and your writing and have the chance to work together. Please get in touch for a quote or to discuss the type of service you need.

I loved working with Rebecca on my debut novel, The Deadly Spark. Super-friendly, such a good eye for detail and so good at coming up with ideas and suggestions, Rebecca really helped shape my novel into something great, and I'm so pleased I had the chance to work with her.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Rebecca Jamieson on my debut novel. She was full of so many great ideas about how to improve the manuscript, and her enthusiasm for my characters, knowledge of the editorial process, and insight into what makes a good novel, all vastly improved my writing. I would not hesitate to recommend Rebecca's editorial services to any writers ready to take their career to the next level.
