About Novel Notices
Hello! My name is Olivia, a book-lover with a passion for all-things-bookish (obviously), as well as music, art, and a long list of fictional men. I read a wide range of genres, but I mostly write darker, more complex characters and stories, always accompanied with a healthy dose of romance! Years of experience with freelance editing for novels and articles have allowed me to hone my abilities. Additionally, I have been a beta and ARC reader for several years, often receiving by-name offers to review advanced copies from indie and traditional publishers.
Being an author myself, I know how technically and emotionally difficult writing and perfecting a book can be. Whether you're an indie author or seeking to publish traditionally, at this point you've spent months and months crafting and drafting this project. You've reread your manuscript so many times, you've lost your objectivity when it comes to finding misspellings, fixing grammatical errors, and placing that apostrophe correctly.
As a proofreader and copyeditor, I'm here to help you meticulously polish your novel in the final stages before publication, while still maintaining your voice. My goal is to enhance and elevate your work, not rewrite it. As such, please proceed with the necessary editing steps (self-edits, developmental editing, etc) before contacting me. You can learn more about what exactly is included in both my proofreading and copyediting services on the Editing Services page.
Given my book tastes, I am a better fit for fiction books over non-fiction. Favorite genres include fantasy, romance, mystery, science fiction, and any combination of these and their subgenres. I will provide a sample edit of up to 1,000 words to make sure we are both 100% comfortable moving forward with our work together.
I look forward to hearing about your latest project and assisting you in achieving your story's success!
Novel Notices - Reviews
Novel Notices is a website created to review a wide variety of books, and offer my personal ratings, content reviews, and recommendations for fellow bibliophiles. I note the amount of language, violence, sexual content, and the LGBTQ+ representation, as well as the genres the book falls under.
*NOTE: If you've been on Booktok or Bookstagram or other bookish communities on social media, you might be seeing some creators discourage or shame people for reading content other readers aren't comfortable with. That is not what Novel Notices is about. The website is a resource for all book-lovers to use in order to decide if a book has content you are comfortable with. It's not meant to shame anyone or promote only a certain type of book.*
You can also find me on Goodreads and Instagram under @novelnotices.
