LibriBloom Editing

Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Lauren Branning, editor at LibriBloom Editing. I provide editing, proofreading, and beta reading services for works of fiction and gardening/horticulture/botany books and blogs. I edit to make words bloom brightly for you!

Have you ever questioned yourself if your content doesn’t make sense to the reader? Or have you thought that you might need assistance from a person, instead of an AI platform, to give feedback on your work? I can help you with that!

You need a chill editor who will preserve your voice? I got you. You need a business communication markup in a jiffy? I also got you. Chat with me today!

About Me

I am a professional editor, affiliated with Editor’s Freelancer Association, ACES, and editing certified with Poynter Institute.

I am a proud member of the Editor’s Tea Club, which also welcomes writers!

Expertise with a touch of ease
  • Poynter ACES Certificate in Editing
  • BS in Environmental Biology from USF

I have worked with many professionals of different professions over the years. My promise to you is: I will edit with care, not judge the content I edit or read, and provide honest advice and feedback to make your book or content be the best it can be!

Aside from editing, I am a gamer, home gardener, baker of all things sweet and sourdough, and book lover.

My brand is designed from my love of the gladiolus flower! I love flower gardening to create fresh bouquets to place around the house.

May your story always be in bloom.

Copyediting

Copyediting is checking for grammar, usage, and diction. I provide two levels of copyediting: light or heavy. The both of us will work together to decide which is best for your project and budget.

Proofreading

Proofreading is the final read before submission for publication or beta read. This process checks for any spelling and punctuation errors remaining, and provides assistance with the formatting of text.

Beta Read

A beta reader reads the manuscript and provides feedback to the author on big-picture elements such as plot, character design, and pacing. You will receive a detailed report of the beta read.
