Transforming Your Manuscript into A Masterpiece

Enhance, refine, and perfect your book

About me

Hi, I'm Mel, a freelance proofreader and editor from Cumbria in the UK. I read mainly fiction but may be able to help with non-fiction also. I am happy to review your books on Amazon, Bookbub and Goodreads once they are released. I am a single mum who works hard, I recently had to give up my job due to my disability and decided to put my passion and skills for proofreading and editing to use freelancing. I am very proud of my work and have proved I have a very good eye for errors, plot holes, misspellings and more. I am happy to work with American spellings and grammar as well as UK English and can help those for whom English is not their first language.

"An incredible asset" Mel signed on as an alpha reader for me when I was writing Ascension of the Queen. She was one of the most helpful alpha readers I’ve ever had on any of my books! She caught small loopholes, errors, and helped reword a few things so they would flow better. I willingly added her name to the credits of Ascension of the Queen as the proofreader. If you are looking for a proofreader for your work in progress, I highly recommend Mel Wright! She is friendly, keeps to your author’s voice, and an incredible asset!

" Doesn't miss much, if anything!" Mel has proofread several of my fantasy novels. As a bestselling author on Amazon it's essential to have solid proofreading. Too many errors in an ebook can really tank sales and ratings! Mel is a crucial contributor to my self-publishing success. She has a keen eye and doesn't miss much, if anything! Thank you, Mel, for your amazing work!

"I cannot recommend her enough" Mel was very thorough as a proof-reader / copy editor. A keen eye for detail, readability, and grammar, as well as word choices -who knew prophesy and prophecy were slightly different, but importantly so. She also turned around the manuscript in a very timely manner which was really appreciated when I was up against a deadline! I cannot recommend her enough!

"Easy to communicate with, professional and fast!" Mel was incredible going through my manuscript as both a professional and a reader. She picked up little things that most wouldn't because she actually read the story and followed through with my author voice. I hear horror stories of proofreaders trying to change too much or nothing at all, and Mel was the perfect balance. She's easy to communicate with, super sweet, professional, and fast! I cannot say enough good things about her and the help she gave me with my newest book. If you're launching a book, I highly suggest having Mel go through it. She will find things you never realized you missed! 5/5 stars 10/10 stars the highest rating one can give, she gets it!

"Do yourself a favour and hire her now!" Mel is great to work with. She has edited my first two urban fantasy novels and I'm really pleased with the results. She found errors tht I had missed and improved both books from start to finish by suggesting smart, thoughtful changes. She knew what I was trying to say and helped me to say it better. Do yourself a favour and hire her now.

"Eagle Eyes" I discovered Mel Wright when I was finishing the manuscript for my first book. After working with her I decided to give her the moniker Eagle Eyes; she was able to spot things I never would have been able to. Thanks to her help and incredible attention to detail, my novel went from looking like it was indie published to professional. Mel is fair, a wonderful communicator, affordable, and really edits the book with the author's goal in mind. I can't recommend her enough.
