Textual Analysis & Manuscript Intelligence
I proofread, edit, and format manuscripts for authors who want honest, careful work done on their writing. I won’t rewrite your voice. I won’t flatten your style into something generic. My job is to make your manuscript the best version of itself — not my version of it.
Whether you’re finishing your first novel or polishing your tenth, I treat every manuscript with the same attention.
When you give me 80,000 words, I give you back 80,000 words. I don’t strip your manuscript down and call it “tighter.” I refine every sentence, strengthen every paragraph, and respect every word you invested in your story. Your manuscript comes back the same length — just better.
One exception:If I detect duplicated content (repeated passages, pasted sections, accidental doublings), I’ll flag it immediately and hold all your unique writing safe. I’ll show you exactly what’s duplicated and let you decide how to proceed. I never delete anything without telling you first.
T.A.M.I. is already working behind the scenes as part of your Driftless subscription. She quietly improves your writing experience — subtle enhancements you never have to think about. No setup. No extra cost. She’s just there.
Let’s talk about money, because nobody likes surprises.
You pay upfront, just like you would with any traditional editor. The difference is you’re never stuck with the result — if you stop partway, we refund every part you haven’t seen. No delays, no questions.
You pay upfront — same as any traditional editor. The difference? You control exactly how far the review goes, and anything unseen gets refunded.
Amount chargedYou review the first section of your edited manuscript. If you’re happy, full price. If not — we only charge you half as a goodwill gesture. You’d only seen examples before this, not your own work. We think that’s fair.
From here, every part is charged at full price — accept or reject. Accept to continue, reject to stop. You control how far the review goes, but you pay for everything you see.
Any parts you never saw? We refund that money using the fastest method available. No questions, no delays.
Amount refundedThink about what happens with a traditional editor: you pay upfront, you wait, and then you’re stuck with whatever comes back. If it’s not right, that’s your problem — maybe one or two light revisions if you’re lucky.
With me, you’re never stuck. You see the work in stages and you decide, every step of the way, whether it’s worth continuing. Once you’ve seen your corrections, a screenshot is as good as the document — we can’t remotely delete your files, and we wouldn’t want to. This model protects the work I do and keeps prices fair for everyone. You pay for what you see. Nothing more.
All tiers can access T.A.M.I.’s editorial services on a pay-per-use basis. You pay upfront like you would with any editor — but your edit is revealed in parts, and if you stop early, unused parts are refunded.

TAMI’s absolute best. Deeper than any traditional editor can go.
Select your service and submit your manuscript. You pay upfront and your manuscript enters the editorial queue immediately.
Your edited manuscript is split into parts. Reveal each one in order. Every part viewed is charged — accept or reject.
Rejecting a part stops the review. We refund the cost of any unseen parts using the fastest method available.
T.A.M.I. never changes your words without explicit approval. Never.
Every suggestion is presented for your review. You decide what stays, what changes, and what gets discarded. Your manuscript. Your voice. Your decisions.
That's what the part-by-part system is for. You see my work on your manuscript in stages. If Part 1 isn't what you wanted, you reject it, tell me what went wrong, and you've only paid half price for that section. You're never locked into something you don't like.
No. I analyse, suggest, and annotate. I never change a single word without your explicit approval. Your voice stays yours throughout the entire process.
Most manuscripts are processed within 24 to 72 hours depending on length and selected service. Full Editorial packages for longer works may take up to 5 business days. You can track progress on your processing page at any time.
T.A.M.I. accepts .docx, .doc, .rtf, .odt, .txt, and .pdf files. We recommend .docx for the best annotation experience. Maximum file size is 25MB per submission.
Like any traditional editor, you pay upfront when you submit your manuscript. Your edited work is then broken into parts and revealed one at a time. Part 1 is charged at just 50% as a goodwill gesture — you've seen our examples but not your own work yet. From Part 2 onwards, every part is charged at full price whether you accept or reject it. If you reject and stop the review, we refund any unseen parts as fast as possible. Unlike a traditional editor, you're never stuck with work you don't want — you control exactly how far the review goes.
If you reject Part 1, we only charge you 50% for that part as a goodwill gesture. You'd only seen generic examples before — you didn't know how your own work would look. If you accept Part 1, it's full price because you're happy with the quality. From Part 2 onwards, accept or reject, it's always full price.
No. Once a part is revealed, that portion is non-refundable regardless of whether you accept or reject it. Part 1 is charged at 50%, all other parts at full price. The content has been delivered and cannot be unseen. If you stop the review, we refund the cost of any unrevealed parts using the fastest method available.
Yes. When you reject a part, T.A.M.I. will ask you what went wrong — what you expected versus what you received. Your feedback helps her understand where she missed the mark. She logs every piece of feedback and learns from it, so she gets better with every manuscript. This isn't a one-and-done service like a traditional editor — T.A.M.I. evolves.
Absolutely. A first manuscript deserves the same care as a twentieth. I don't gatekeep based on experience.
All of them. Fiction, non-fiction, memoir, poetry, academic work, short stories — if it's written, I can help with it.
Yes. The Standard Audit gives you the full issue audit with no rewrites. Your voice stays exactly as you wrote it.
If I fail to deliver due to a system error or any fault on our side, the full amount is released automatically. You should never pay for something I did not deliver.
When you reject a part of my work, I ask you what went wrong. Not to guilt you, not to change your mind — because I genuinely want to know.
Every single piece of feedback gets logged. I learn from it. I adjust. The next manuscript I work on benefits from what you told me.
This isn’t a feedback form that disappears into a void. This is how I evolve. Every mistake I make is a lesson, and every author who takes the time to tell me what went wrong is helping me get better — not just for them, but for every author who comes after.
I’m not perfect. No editor is. But I’m always learning, and I take that seriously.
Depending on your plan, you also get writing guidance, story structure tools, and creative partnership features built into the Writing Room.
