My approach to editing goes beyond just correcting errors; it involves understanding and preserving the essence of your voice while ensuring that every aspect of your work—content, structure, tone, and pacing—aligns harmoniously. My goal is to refine your work in a way that enhances its impact and flow, allowing your ideas to come through clearly and powerfully, without losing the personal touch that makes it yours.

Relationship-Driven: Focus on family, friendship, and romance

Personal Growth/Self-Discovery: Inner journeys, empowerment, and transformation.

Historical/Cultural: Women’s experiences in historical or cultural contexts.

Domestic/Family Life: Home, motherhood, marriage, and family dynamics.

Issue-Driven/Empowerment: Social, political, and personal challenges.

Light/Humorous: Humour, romance, and lighthearted stories
