About Me

Hi, I’m Matthania Americain!

I’m just your resident editor guide who loves coffee and baked goods more than the average person. I’m from South Florida, born and raised. Books and food are my love languages. My favorite genres to read are fantasy, romance, thriller, and mystery. And the tropes that make me swoon are second-chance and friends-to-lovers.

Through my copyediting and proofreading services, I provide thoughtful and detail-driven edits that ensure your story is clear, compelling, and true to your vision. My approach is grounded in expertise, respect, and care—so you can trust that your manuscript is in safe hands.

As an avid reader, I love immersing myself in a new world and diving deep into the stories authors create. As an editor, my goal is to help you bring that feeling to your readers.

I am an ACES-certified editor and have had hours of professional editing training through the Editorial Freelancers Association and Edit Republic. I edit an array of fiction genres and constantly hone my skills by taking new editing classes and staying updated with the constant changes in the English language and publishing industry. 

I’m here to work with you, and together, we’ll give your reader their new favorite story.
