Every manuscript has its own voice, purpose, and audience. At Precise Syntax, my goal is to help writers strengthen their work without losing what makes it uniquely theirs.I’m Telani Lasoleille, a professional copyeditor working with indie authors, self-publishers, small presses, and academic writers across the United States. I specialize in copyediting, proofreading, and beta reading for fiction manuscripts as well as academic and research-based writing in animal behavior sciences. My work is grounded in clarity, consistency, and collaboration—never heavy-handed editing.For fiction authors, I provide editing support across a range of genres, including thrillers, mysteries, fantasy, horror, young adult, and crime fiction. Whether you’re refining pacing in a suspense novel, strengthening character voice, or preparing a manuscript for publication, my editing process is designed to enhance readability while preserving your narrative style.In addition to fiction editing, I offer specialized editing for academic manuscripts in animal behavior and applied sciences. Before becoming a full-time editor, I worked in animal behavior and positive reinforcement training and hold a graduate certificate in Applied Animal Behavior. That background allows me to approach scientific and research writing with an understanding of both technical accuracy and clear communication.Precise Syntax offers transparent, per-word pricing, flexible payment plans, and a collaborative editing process. Every project begins with an initial review so expectations are clear, followed by tailored feedback based on your manuscript’s goals and audience. Writers can also request a free sample edit to ensure the approach is a good fit before committing.Editing should feel like a partnership, not a red pen showdown. Whether you’re preparing a novel for readers or refining a research manuscript for publication, Precise Syntax is here to help you present your work with confidence, clarity, and integrity.
