🕷️ Professional Proofreading & Fiction Editing — The Paranormal Quill
Proofreading & Fiction Editing Services
Every great story deserves a final polish.
Are you a writer looking for a fresh pair of eyes on your manuscript?
Welcome! I’m Heddy Johannesen, a published horror author and the creator of The Paranormal Quill.
As a writer myself, I understand the dedication, creativity, and countless hours that go into bringing a story to life. I also know how easy it is to overlook mistakes when you’ve read your own manuscript dozens of times!
With experience editing other writers’ work, I’m pleased to offer freelance proofreading and light copyediting services to fellow authors.
Whether you’re preparing a short story for submission, polishing a novella, or putting the finishing touches on your manuscript, I’d be delighted to help.
🕷️ My Editing Services
Proofreading
Even the most carefully written manuscript can contain overlooked errors.
My proofreading services focus on:
- Spelling and typographical errors
- Grammar and punctuation
- Missing or repeated words
- Inconsistent capitalization
- Minor formatting and consistency issues
Light Copyediting
Sometimes a manuscript needs more than a final proofread.
My light copyediting services include:
- Improving sentence clarity and readability
- Identifying awkward or repetitive wording
- Correcting grammar and punctuation
- Checking consistency throughout the manuscript
- Suggesting improvements while preserving your unique writing voice
My goal is to help your writing shine without changing what makes your story yours.
