Non-Fiction Editor for Publishers, Independent Authors and Businesses

I help you polish your writing so you can educate, inspire or prompt readers to take action.

Is editing your least favourite part of writing? Do you find errors after hitting send, even when you use a grammar checker?

You're not alone. Editing your own work is hard. While you can use AI tools like Grammarly, you'll still need to wade through hundreds of flagged errors, which can take hours.

What's more, these tools won't flag inaccuracies, clichés or inconsistencies. This can be a problem if you want your words to build trust, educate or prompt readers to take action. Any friction can lose your audience or undermine your credibility.

As a freelance editor, I help you avoid these pitfalls by cross-checking facts, weeding out errors and improving the flow and logic of your writing. I also make sure your voice remains intact and your message connects with your target audience.

Let's polish your writing

Hi, I'm Gabriella Sterio, a freelance non-fiction editor based in Sydney.

I’ve spent my working life immersed in books, words and ideas, and I love nothing more than untangling a knotty manuscript, taming misplaced modifiers or making marketing bullets sizzle (yes, really!). My streamlined process and keen editorial eye keep even the trickiest edits on track, making publication smoother and stress-free.

So if your words aren't making an impact or you need a professional editor on your team, I can help. With editing or proofreading that always respects your voice, I'll eliminate errors, weed out waffle and make your book, website or blog the best version it can be!

Here's how I can help

Copyediting

Whether it's a book, blog or email sequence, I'll use track changes to correct grammar and spelling errors, eliminate repetition and improve the flow and clarity of
your writing.

Proofreading

If your book, manual or flyer copy has already been typeset, I can review the PDF files and use Adobe markup tools to highlight any outstanding language or
formatting errors.

Website rewriting

If your website copy needs a refresh, I can provide a partial or full rewrite to ensure your words
are optimised for Google, speak
to your ideal customer and
drive conversions.
