Yes. Your manuscript is handled with complete confidentiality and securely stored during the editing process. It will never be shared or discussed outside our agreement.

In addition to fixing typos, grammar, and punctuation, I also offer light, constructive feedback where helpful — especially if something seems unclear or inconsistent. My goal is to enhance your work without changing your voice.

I primarily work with Microsoft Word documents using Track Changes. This makes it easy for you to review and accept edits. If your file is in another format (like Google Docs) or you use an online tool like Reedsy, just let me know, I can usually accommodate.

If you’d like me to sign a non-disclosure agreement for peace of mind, I’m happy to do so. Transparency and trust are key to how I work.
