︎ editorial work 

I’m available for freelance editorial projects on an ongoing basis! I’m especially excited to work on experimental, genre-transgressive & hybrid fiction and poetry manuscripts.

I worked as an editor at Math Paper Press, an independent small press in Singapore, from 2016-2020, and have been a freelance editor working mainly through Reedsy since 2020.

I offer developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading services. I also do editorial assessments. 



Developmental editing is the most thorough and in-depth service. I provide both big-picture and zoomed-in, scene- & paragraph-level feedback on your manuscript. Where the work falls within the realm of my specific interests, I can also offer more involved industry- or genre-specific comments. No line or technical edits are offered with developmental editing services.

Copyediting focuses on the mechanics of your writing: grammar, spelling, and punctuation. No creative feedback is offered with copyediting services.

Proofreading is the final stage of editing, taking place after the manuscript has been laid out by a designer. I’ll tackle typos, formatting errors, and grammatical mistakes. No creative feedback is offered with proofreading services. 

Editorial Assessments are manuscript evaluations, with no inline editing work on the manuscript. I read the manuscript and you get a written assessment that tells you what areas of it need further work. If you’re not sure what kind of editing service you need, an assessment will show you the areas your manuscript could use some help, and whether that help should be comprehensive or minor.
