Hello,
I’m Gemma, proofreader, editor and author.
I’ve been involved in the writing industry since 2015 when I decided to write my first book. A year later I published it under the pen name Gem Stone. Since then I have published three more books and worked on a number of other author’s books as a beta reader and developmental editor.
It was last year when I decided it was time to get some qualifications in proofreading and editing so I took myself back to school and here I am now; a qualified proofreader and editor who graduated from college with a distinction and QLS certification.
I know what it’s like to have worked really hard on something and not be sure if it’s error free or good enough.
Whether it’s editing a CV or proofreading a manuscript, I will improve your work to a higher standard.
You and your voice are what’s important. I’m simply helping you improve your work. I understand the importance of not changing the author’s voice!
I don’t want unhappy customers. If you’re not happy, we will rectify it
Gemma is amazing and very professional. She surprised me by helping me a little bit outside of our agreement. Now that’s what I call service.
Her communication is great. I am really happy to have stumbled upon her. Don’t miss out on collaborating with awesomeness!
Gemma, what an amazingly helpful professional.
Responded quickly to every email sent and provided an effective answer to my queries.
Correcting my tenses, sentence flow and much much more.
She has provided me with the confidence I needed to finally publish my book.
I would highly recommend Gemma, she is
‘the editing solution’
Gemma responds quickly to any queries and is totally professional and approachable.
She has an amazing eye for detail.
She corrected my tense changes and gave a lot of extremely helpful suggestions to fill in holes in my story.
I look forward to working with her again for my final version in the new year.
Thankyou
Gemma did an excellent job of line editing my memoir. She also volunteered a few comments outside the scope of line editing which were very relevant and helpful . I warmly recommend her!
This was my first novel so her edits and suggestions were incredibly helpful. She brought to my attention ascents of the story that had holes and I think these points will definitely improve the flow for the reader. After making revisions I plan to work with her again as I work closer to the final version.
