Mozelle Jordan – Editor

I am a developmental editor, copy editor, and proofreader with a background in fiction and nonfiction writing. I have had the pleasure of collaborating with a variety of authors from all backgrounds, genres, and writing experiences, helping over 60 first-time authors successfully edit their manuscripts and go on to publish their books nationwide. Their books can be found on major platforms, such as Amazon, IngramSpark, Kobo, Goodreads, and Barnes & Noble, many of which, even went on to hold the best sellers' rank in their book's category.

I specialize in editing both fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, with an ability to keep the author's voice and stylistic preference in mind first and foremost. My goal is to not rewrite your book (thus writing you out!) but instead, to offer my professional opinion on how to strengthen its elements. To see a quick list of the services I offer, please see below.

As your editor, I offer the opportunity to jump on Zoom calls together, weekly updates on your manuscript, and tracked changes with in-chapter comments during the editing to document every suggestion I make.

There is nothing I would rather be doing than editing books and having the opportunity to work alongside upcoming and established authors! It is not every day you get to be a part of someone's dreams coming true and I never take my career for granted because of that.

Services I offer:

--> Editorial Assessment: This level is free of hands-on edits or in-chapter comments. Instead, I will provide a detailed brief of each chapter to share what is working really well in the piece, and what elements need improvement. I will then provide a full summary of the manuscript as a whole.

--> Developmental Editing (first level of editing): This is the most in-depth editing level. I will focus on big-picture elements of the story that play a deeper role in your manuscript development. This includes plot holes, character arcs, pacing, action sequences, and dialogue.

--> Copy Editing (second level of editing): This includes a more detailed version of Proofreading where I will check for and correct errors in grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation. I will check for technical consistency in spelling, capitalization, font usage, numerals, and hyphenation.

--> Proofreading (third and final round of editing): I will target any final inconsistencies that remain, including spelling errors, grammatical mistakes, inconsistencies in style or point of view, and spacing/ paragraph issues
