Arianne "Ayre" Cruz – Editor

Proofreader for Fourth Wing, Shield of Sparrows, and Filthy Rich Vampires. I specialize in romance and its sub-genres.

Overview

I started as a beta reader until one of the authors I worked with asked if she could hire me as a proofreader because of my extreme attention to detail.

In 2019, I connected with someone at Entangled Publishing, passed their proofreading test, and signed a contract to work with them. Since then, I’ve polished several books, including fan favorites like Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros and Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry. Seeing the stories I’ve polished shine out into the world is the ultimate reward.

Romance is my happy place, but I also edit general fiction with care. My favorite part? Leaving encouraging comments that genuinely hype authors up when they see my edits.

Arianne happily and professionally adapted to a somewhat unusual brief. My book is set in Australia but needed proofreading to ensure readers in the U.S. wouldn't be confused by Aussie idiosyncrasies. She was a dependable, responsive sounding board for this, and she delivered a clean, understanda...
