A line edit is the most intimate editorial relationship a manuscript can have. Angie works through your text line by line — sharpening sentences, untangling unclear passages, smoothing rhythm, strengthening word choice, and ensuring your voice stays consistent from the first page to the last.
This is where thin scenes get filled in. Where dialogue that doesn't quite land gets the breath it needs. Where the gap between what you meant to write and what's actually on the page finally closes.
Angie frequently offers voice-matched ghostwriting during the line edit — scene filler, dialogue, transitional prose — written so seamlessly in your voice that you may not remember what was yours and what was hers. This is included in the project fee, not billed separately.
All work is done in Google Docs. You're welcome to be in the document in real time — watching, reacting, chatting, guiding. Or step away entirely and come back to a finished manuscript.
This is Angie's most requested service.

Completed or near-complete manuscripts ready for deep editorial work. Authors who want both a precise editor and a creative partner in a single pass.
Every story deserves to be told — and not every storyteller is a writer. Angie has ghostwritten fiction and nonfiction for authors who have the story, the vision, and the voice, but need a skilled hand to put it on the page.
Her ghostwriting isn't a template or a formula. She listens, reads your existing work, studies the way you use language, and writes in your voice — so authentically that your readers will never know the difference, and you may not either.
Ghostwriting most commonly happens during the line edit process — thin scenes get filled in, dialogue gets the breath it needs, transitional passages get written — all in your voice, woven seamlessly into your manuscript. This is included in the line edit fee. No separate billing for creative work.
For full manuscript ghostwriting from scratch, Angie works collaboratively with you in Google Docs. Full confidentiality. Your name on the cover. Your story, finally told.

Proofreading is the final pass — the careful, methodical read that catches everything that slipped through editing. Typos, punctuation errors, spacing inconsistencies, formatting irregularities, continuity errors, repeated words. The small things that pull a reader out of your story at exactly the wrong moment.
Angie's background in daily newspaper production — where errors go to print and stay there, in thousands of copies, forever — means she reads with the particular vigilance of someone who knows there are no second chances. She brings that same precision to your manuscript before it goes to the printer or uploads to KDP.
