Memoir Writing
As a ghostwriter of your memoir, unravelling your memory, I write in your voice about your experiences and emotional truth. Staying anchored to the requirements of good storytelling, together with my client, I keep the focus on specific moments tapped from their emotional memory. To make the memoir a page-turner, I employ writing techniques of a bestseller novel. Hence, in the recreation of the scenes in the book, I pack my writing with vivid details, interesting dialogues, and suspense.

Developmental Editing
As a Developmental Editor, I deep dive into a manuscript for an intensive developmental editing process. The job involves working on the “big picture” with authors to prepare their book for its publishing. The focus is on:
- Addressing plot holes
- Working on weak characterisation
- Bolstering sentence characterization
- Fixing dialogues
- Any other shortcomings in the manuscript.
Proof Reading
Spell-checkers and editing software may not catch all the errors, and even the best writers can make mistakes.Proofreading a manuscript is crucial for ensuring its quality.
I proofread manuscripts with an eage eye, with a view to providing polished, error-free work which conveys the intended message clearly and effectively.
My job as a proof-reader entails:
- Elimination of spelling, grammatical, capitalization, and numbering errors, as well as cleaning up of punctuation mistakes and fix formatting inconsistencies.
- Imparting clarity and consistency to your message for your reader by working confusing wording or grammar errors that can lead to misunderstandings or disinterest.
- Addressing other important issues such as, word usage, inconsistent style and voice, hyphenation and capitalization errors, verb tenses and formatting.
- Addressing faulty sentence structures — run-on-sentences, sentence fragments, and comma splices.
