Ever wonder why some books seem “easy” to read?

Hint: It’s not magic, but it is invisible.

What a find! This editor knows her stuff. Susan really focuses on the details. I appreciated her positive feedback as well.”

You've written it … so why does it feel like the hardest part is still ahead?

You’ve put in the time. The rewrites. The late nights and early doubts.

Now you’re staring down edits—and it all feels murky.

AI is tempting. But you know your words deserve more than a formula. You want clarity without compromise. You want your voice to shine—clean, clear, and unmistakably yours.

Fine Line Proofs is different.

You won’t get a rewrite. You’ll get refinement.

You won’t get another voice in your head. You’ll get one you can trust.

I won’t tell you how to “find your voice.”

I see what you can’t, fix what’s getting in the reader’s way, and keep your voice intact.

Working with me isn’t about rewriting your book. It’s about protecting it—tightening the lines, smoothing the snags, making sure your story doesn’t fight back when someone reads it.

No drama. No second-guessing. Just done right.

Imagine this ...

You hit “send” on your manuscript—and instead of anxiety, you feel proud.

You know your story is strong. Your voice is intact. Your sentences carry weight.
You’re no longer wondering if you missed something.

You feel the relief. It’s ready.

Not because a tool cleaned it up, but because someone carefully refined your manuscript—keeping your voice intact and every sentence clear and consistent.

That’s the difference thoughtful copyediting and proofreading makes.
And it’s closer than you think.

"However you want to write your book, Susan will allow your voice to be yours."

—Chris Cranford
