Michaeli K.

Experienced Editor for SFF, Romance, and Non-Fiction

I help authors and publishers produce error-free books with optimal readability. If you want a manuscript free from factual errors or inconsistencies with smooth formatting and an audience-appropriate tone, look no further! I specialize in speculative fiction and romance, but I work with many genres, including instructional/informative non-fiction. My love of reading, extensive editing experience, and BA in English from BSC guarantee excellent services for all my clients, many of whom I work with on an ongoing basis. I value clear and consistent communication, so you can expect prompt replies and thoughtful responses to any questions or concerns you may have. My skills include: • Line editing (plot, character development, style/tone) • Copy editing (grammar, punctuation, phrasing, consistency) • Rewriting/rephrasing • Fact-checking • Proofreading (mechanics) • Formatting (punctuation, font, header/paragraph styles, page/line breaks, bullets/lists) • CMOS • Humanizing LLM outputs (billed hourly) Note: While I use algorithmic tools (e.g., spellcheck, PerfectIt) to perform basic checks, I do not consult AI during any stage of the editing process. I also request that clients disclose any use of AI and to what extent.
