Meet the Owner + Lead Editor:
Hello, lovely! My name is Hannah, welcome to English Proper Editing Services! I am a Ph.D. and professor who has the privilege of teaching English and Communication to undergraduates all around the country. Reading and writing have been a passion of mine from a young age that flourished after entering higher education. Not only have I continued with personal projects and academic publishings, but I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of Indie authors one-on-one to help enhance their writing and tell their stories. I have a unique skill set of being classically trained in academic writing and editing, while my personal reading brings me familiarity and navigation through a multitude of fictional genres. English Proper's goal is to support talented Indie authors through the editing process, helping manuscripts reach its greatest potential.
I can't wait to help you with yours!
"Hannah is a perfect blend of professional, skilled, and fun to work with. She made the process smooth, worked diligently, and quickly...I feel more confident sharing my book with the world after working with Hannah." Rebecca Jackson

Services
General Reading Fee
$.0015 per word
Bringing me on in the middle of a series or duet, and need me to catch up with what is going on in your story? Authors have the option of selecting a reading service for already published/completed novels to prepare me for your editing service with your current project!
Alpha Reading
$.003 per word
Alpha readers go through an early or first draft of a manuscript, offering constructive feedback on character development, plot direction, story pace, general comments, and logistics. While there are no direct changes or edits that are made to the manuscript, these comments are logged followed by an emailed summary sheet for the author's consideration.
Alpha Reading V2
15% off
Got your summary sheet back, completed your edits, and want another read through to make sure those changes read well now logistically? You can book a second alpha reading over the same book, a V2 for the same rate with 15% off, once you finish making changes based off your first summary sheet. This doesn't include reader reactions like your first appointment, where instead you will only get logistical comments with the goal of answering the question: Does this read well now?
Sensitivity Reading
$.003 per word
Writing on topics that either you don't have first hand experience with or want to make sure it is being portrayed accurately? English Proper will pair you with one of our sensitivity readers who are qualified in the area(s) of your book to make sure this reads as it should be represented, or give recommendations on how to address this!
Beta Reading
$.003 per word
Beta reading, compared to alpha reading, is done post edits, and is an analysis from the reader's perspective. At English Proper, regardless of how you define these two terms, you can book a Beta Reading at any point of your personal book process to give reader feedback before publishing! Note that alpha/beta readings are different scopes of service than proofreading. This service will not include comments/edits on grammar or sentence structure.
Line Editing
$.011 per word
Line editing includes analyzing the manuscript line-by-line to look for inconsistencies in syntax, tone, and emotion. Line editing considers elements such as is this an overused phrase, would the character use this type of language, does the book flow for the reader? The key element in this service is making sure the manuscript flows. Manuscripts are edited through tracked changes, or through "accept" or "reject" editing functions.
Copy Editing
$.007 per word
Copy editing is a close review and edit of the manuscript in its final draft stage. All discrepancies will be noted, including format, flow, and, most importantly, grammar. Manuscripts are edited through tracked changes or through "accept" or "reject" editing functions. Remember, this is your passion project and you get to have the final say!
Combined Editing
$.012 per word
For the authors who want to do line and copy editing with the same editor at a discounted rate, this service is for you. This includes a manuscript submission where line editing and copy editing are completed in a single appointment. This discounted service is valued at $.018, but offered at $.012!
Proofreading
$.005 per word
Proofreading is the final revision of the manuscript, checking to make sure there are no stray grammatical or formatting errors. This is the finishing touch to a manuscript before publishing.
The Editor's Package
$.016 per word
One combined editing appointment (line and copy editing) for $.012 per word (valued at $.018), and an additional proofreading reading appointment at a discounted rate, $.004 per word ($.005 originally). The Editor's package is only eligible for authors who book a combined editing service first, to then add a proofreading appointment with the final word count after the combined editing appointment and author's read through for the discounted rate.
First Time Formatting Promotion
$50
Authors booking formatting for the first time get a $50 flat rate for the base formatting service, if you edit with us or not! A la carte is extra and can be added on!
Base Formatting
$.0015 per word
For eBook only:
Selecting fonts and style for chapter heading/alignment, and text
Ensuring proper formatting requirements from KDP
Includes Copyright, author’s note, dedication, acknowledgements, “about the author” section, and “also by” page as needed
Uploading provided book cover

"Being an indie author is hard enough, and when you have an editor that cares about you and your story like she does, it makes it so worth it. I'm using her for every writing project from here on out." Alaina Lee

Hey, I’m Evelyn! I’m a freelance copy editor and proofreader from the south coast of the UK. I’ve been working with indie romance authors for nearly a decade now and particularly enjoy the steamier, darker, kinkier side of the genre.
When I’m not editing, I’m travelling, ultra running, or diving into Roman archaeology — often all at once! On a typical evening, you’ll find me curled up with a romance novel, a glass of wine, and my cat.

I am Chloe and I have always had a huge passion for reading and all things bookish. From a young age I have been an avid reader and often stayed up well into the night just so I could get to the end of a particularly intriguing chapter, much to the detriment of my sleep habits. I work with all genres, but my favourites are definitely any types of romance and most of my experience has been with dark romance.
My "fun" fact is that while working on my proofreads I read the book aloud, which can often lead to weird looks from my partner when I forget I'm not home alone and have just said some rather "interesting" words from a dark romance novel.

My name is Katie, and I'm a self-published author with a BA in English Language and Literature. When I'm not writing, I'm working as a freelance beta reader, editor, and proofreader with a preference for fantasy, romance, and historical fiction. Other than that, you can find me in the kitchen baking my heart off, or snuggling up with my cat and a good book!
This team handles all proofreading commissions, allowing English Proper to offer all-in-house services with their expertise and fresh eyes after Hannah's editing, ensuring the highest quality service for english proper authors.
"She is very professional in everything she does, works rapidly, and well. Not only did she help me toughen the plot, but she also cheered me on and gave me so much confidence with my debut!" Kay
Frequently Asked Questions
Don't see your question here? Email at info.englishproperediting@gmail.com
Authors have such a talent for creating stories and immersive experiences for readers. An editor comes in to ensure your manuscript reaches its fullest potential. Every author needs a second pair of eyes - this is what brings books to the next level. This can be the make or break your book succeeding post-publication.
English Proper's proofreaders are skilled independent contractors with specialization in different genres to account for the variety of English Proper's authors. They are trained with Hannah and contracted with an NDA, ensuring the use of VPNs, Word documents, no AI interventions, and all the legal requirements that Hannah signs with each and every service contract. They are "silent" contractors, as they do not receive author information, communication, or personal information, ensuring authors' safety.
All genres. My author clientele is currently revolved around dark romance, paranormal, contemporary, fantasy, small-town, sports, western, MC, action, and more. If you are a dark romance author, I work with extensive trigger warning lists.
Editing services including line editing, copy editing, and proofreading, start with an editor read through. I work through Microsoft Word tracked changes for "suggestive edits" that authors can "accept" or "reject". This is critical for keeping author voice and ensuring that all final changes fall in line with the author's vision. Once completed, the V1 is sent to the author for their read through and V2, if applicable.
The goal of the V2 is to ensure that authors are satisfied with the final product of their service and to encourage open communication between parties. Especially for new authors, when I am learning your preference and style. If authors see a consistent editing style that they don't prefer and want exchanged for something else, have a question, or need feedback on an open comment that I left, this is where authors would highlight sections of the manuscript that need additional attention, emailing this back for a V2.
I work with authors at all manuscript stages, even conceptualization! It all depends on where you are with the manuscript itself. Have a first draft but you are still playing around with the plot? Alpha Reading. Need someone to review topics in a story to make sure it is accurately represented? Sensitivity Reading. Have the story's direction down but it needs to flow? Line Editing. Ready to make sure your grammar is in order? Copy Editing. Want to save money in your line and copy edits? Combined Editing. Need finishing touches before you publish? Proofreading. Want to save money for your entire editing process? Editor's Package.
Sample edits are very important when searching for an editor who is a good fit! The sample edit allows you to see my editing style, often in a combined editing status (line and copy editing), but can also be used as a tool for my personal recommendation of what service best fits the current draft. Sample edits include 2k words and can be emailed to info.englishproperediting@gmail.com. No contract signing or payment required.
Manuscripts are quoted per service, per word. There are flat rate packages with ranges of word count with English Proper, because I believe in only paying for the work that is completed. When looking at a manuscript, especially if you completed a sample edit if you are a first time client, I can recommend the service I think best suites the draft at the current stage. Clients, of course, have the choice with this. For example, I could recommend that a draft needs both line and copy editing, but an author may only want to do a copy edit, which is fine! The only contingency comes with proofreading. If the editing work required actually calls for a copy edit, a proofreading cannot be completed as this would not be accurate work and compensation.
Onboarding is required for all services, whether this is your first project with me or your tenth! The first step is to email me your manuscript at info.englishproperediting@gmail.com. Next, this will be attached to your contract which is sent via DocuSign. All authors must provide their legal name for contract signing, which is kept confidential, of course. After contract signing, if applicable, is your deposit. All payments are completed through PayPal.
Within any business venture, contracts are essential for the safety and protection of all parties. For English Proper, this is to ensure that there is clear understanding with the scope, process, payment, and completion of a project, especially when dealing with unpublished manuscripts. Authors are welcome to request a copy of the contract for review before beginning the onboarding process.
All payments are invoiced through PayPal business. English Proper is dedicated to making professional editing accessible to all authors. There are a variety of payment plans available that are offered and outlined in the contract, from paying the full amount upfront to monthly, interest-free payment plans.
No, you can have an unlimited amount of ongoing payment plans with different projects. You do not need to complete one payment plan before starting another with a new project. The only contingency to this is that all invoices must be paid by their deadline.
Contact me via email, website, or Instagram to check for availability! There is no deposit that is required to secure your spot on the schedule. However, if you change your timeline, my ability to complete services will be subject to my availability.

Testimonials
"Imagine one day you decide to write, and after many days your story is finished, you are happy, but at the same time you are lost. There are many terms you do not understand, and you know your story is not perfect. But you want it to be. You want your story to represent you and all those hours of hard work that have turned your eyes into squares after being in front of the screen daily, and your butt is non-existent for sitting on a chair typing and typing. You need help. But you want to keep your voice, your essence. You want to learn from your mistakes, but you don’t want to feel disappointed at the silly errors you might have made, you want to work with someone who enjoys your story, understands your work, and the struggle! But also someone that gets excited with each chapter and motivates you to keep going, well… Hannah was that person for me. And Hannah can be that person for you!
I am so happy to have found her, that she accepted to work with me in shaping my debut novel. She feels like a friend during the whole process and is always willing to explain and share her knowledge and thoughts!
It was a pleasure working with Hannah and hope to keep on working with her for many more books!"
- Author Julie Vera
"As a new author, you could say I was quite ignorant of a lot of things, and I didn't really realize on time the importance of having an Alpha reader going through my work. And then I also later discovered that finding the right Alpha reader was quite crucial. My book is my baby. I have bonded with the characters more than I have bonded with the real people in my life. Although I always said I was open to constructive criticism, I was also scared of a lot of things I love about my book that I may not have a choice but to remove. I was scared that at the end of the day, I would be staring at a book that didn't look quite like the one I spent two years writing.
But I am incredibly glad to have been able to work with Hannah as my Alpha reader. Her feedback on every page was detailed, insightful, helping me see my manuscript from a new angle. And the fear of having to remove things because they weren't supposed to be there was gone because she didn't just point out issues, she explained why they mattered and tried her best to offer suggestions to strengthen my story. I didn't have to remove things I love about my book, because she let me know how to make them sound and look better.
If you're looking for a thoughtful, patient, honest, and kind reader who genuinely cares about helping authors improve their work, I highly recommend working with Hannah."
- Author Rue Knightly
"Hannah at English Proper Editing is not only a professional in all of her services, but she's also someone that I now consider a friend/colleague in the bookish community! Her support and insight are unmatched, and she makes the process of indie publishing much less daunting!

I recommend Hannah and her team for all of your editing needs!"
- Author KL Hill
"Literally so obsessed with Hannah y’all. She’s magical. Seriously. She’ll take your manuscript and make it pretty and perfect, all while making you laugh your booty off. 🥹👏🏻

I will no longer publish a book without Hannah alpha reading it beforehand! Loved working with English Proper Editing Services, and I can’t wait to work more with them in the future!🖤"
- Author S. Wilson
"Hannah was exceptional to work with. She alpha read and copy edited my manuscript. Her constructive feedback was helpful, the system she uses is easy to navigate, and I received everything back in a timely manner. Add to that she is affordable and works with you and your budget. I will definitely use her services again in the future."
- Author AJ
"I purchased an alpha read for my book. Hannah provided great insights as to the emotional tone/set of the book and provided suggestions on how to improve the plot. She met her timeline and budget. She provided in-text comments as well as a clear and thorough breakdown in an email. I'm extremely satisfied with the alpha read."
- Author Renee Gendron
"Absolutely Brilliant! Highly Recommend!
Working with Hannah has been an absolute dream. She not only understood my needs perfectly but also met them with exceptional skill and professionalism. Her quick responses and insightful feedback made the alpha reading and copyediting process smooth and enjoyable.
Hannah’s attention to detail and her ability to truly connect with my work left me feeling confident and supported as an author. I was so impressed with her work on my first book that I immediately hired her for my second project!
If you're looking for someone who is reliable, talented, and a joy to work with, Hannah is the one. I can't recommend her enough!"
- Author Kas
"Hannah is amazing! She worked at a proficient and fast pace. Always has a professional demeanor and made editing way easier for me. She literally was a godsend for me, because my laptop and I were going to fight when it came to editing myself. Editing is my worst nightmare and Hannah is literally like an angel saving the day for an indie author. Thank you Hannah!"
- Author Emilia Dark
"Hannah was incredibly useful as an alpha reader/proof reader for my academic romance novel. From offering generalised feedback from a reader’s perspective to finding grammatical errors that had slipped through the net, I feel a lot more reassured in both my plot and my writing as a result of her help.
She is enthusiastic, timely, and professional and I look forward to working together on my next book!"
- Author Autumn Woods

- Author Natalie Knolls

- Author Makenzie Carpenter
"Hannah is true gem! I am so glad I found her and was able to alpha read, copy edit, and line edit my first full length novel. She goes into incredible detail on what I need to fix, makes me laugh with her comments to my writing, and always leave it up to me on whether or not to accept suggestions. She pushes me to become a better writer. I can't recommend Hannah enough and will for sure be working with her in the future."
- Author B.B. Heron

- Author Riley Ivy
"I loved working with Hannah! Her proofread caught so many errors that were missed in many rounds of reads and editing, and her recommended changes frequently maintained my style and voice. Not to mention, her comments throughout the manuscript let me know she was looking at the story as a whole as well. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her in the future!"
- Author Amanda Marquand
"Hannah is amazing! Hannah alpha-read my debut sci-fi novel, and provided a sample edit. As soon as I got her report back, I knew she was the editor for me! Her comments were the perfect balance of constructive, supportive, productive, and enthusiastic. It's so important to be able to convey constructive feedback in an authentic way, while also ensuring that the recipient knows their strengths. Hannah was able to create such trust and rapport from our first contact, through the editing process, and afterwards. I truly feel like she is personally invested in the success of every single one of her clients, because it shows.
Immediately after reading through her alpha feedback, I knew I had to hire her for copy editing as well. Hannah was not only timely, but super diligent in ensuring that any nuances were taken into account for consistency. I feel so much more confident in my manuscript after working with Hannah.
I will 100% be working with English Proper Editing Services again on my next projects, and fully endorse Hannah for your editing needs."
- Author Stacey LP
"Hannah is genuinely and absolutely incredible at her job, and I love her vibe more than I can even say. She knows how to make you feel comfortable in general conversations, but she definitely tells you what needs corrected and how to improve yourself as a writer, and I have nothing but good things to say about her. Also—her turnaround time?! Out of this world. I can't wait to give her everrrryyyy novella in this series 🥹
Thank you so much Hannah! I wouldn't have published without you."
- Author C.S. Silver
"Hannah is AH-MAZING!! When my first editor ghosted me and my release date for my book was coming up, I got ahold of English Proper. She had my whole manuscript back (120k words) back to me in two days!! She literally saved my ass and I will hype her as much as possible. The best! You won't go wrong with Hannah. She knows her stuff and is on it. Best experience I have had with an editor, and will continue using her from now on. 10/10"

-Author Alice Staley
"Hannah at English Proper Editing was wonderful to work with. I was hesitant to try another editor, fearful of when their editorial voice begins to take over my creative one, however Hannah took the time to ask my questions about my style and preferences before diving in. I feel like she understood my characters and the voice of the story and worked within that to clean the manuscript up and make it shine. I look forward to working with her again and highly recommend this business."

Hannah does such a good job of making you feel like she's truly invested in your story, while also applying her skills and talents to help craft your work into the best it can be.

"Everything you’d want in an editor as a debut, indie author! Hannah was so knowledgeable about the process and patient with all the questions I had. It’s apparent she keeps up on current editing trends and rules, while also allowing her authors the autonomy to make the final decision in changes to the manuscript. I appreciate her keen eye for mistakes, while always giving all the love towards my manuscript. Her alpha reading and combined editing are worth every penny. Thank you for helping me bring my baby to life!"

"Working with Hannah was an absolute dream! We initially started with an alpha read and her feedback really helped step my debut up to the next level. Her comments throughout her read through really made me laugh, too. She then did a combined edit to help me get it all finished up and did it in such a timely manner as well. My book wouldn’t be what it is without Hannah’s input. Can’t wait to work with her on the next one."

She's prompt and thorough with her work, communication is great and she truly does turn your work into the best possible version. Thank you, Hannah!"

"Hannah is undeniably one of the most patient, kind, and understanding people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
