ABOUT

Hi there!

My name is Deon Ashleigh, and I specialize in developmental editing, copyediting, line editing, manuscript critiques, and copywriting.

Who are you? A busy person, I bet. So busy, in fact, that finding an excellent editor may be a task you need off your list—now.

WHY AM I THE RIGHT CHOICE?

What an amazing question. Here’s my answer: I’m the right choice because improving content is a pleasure for me, and thorough edits filled with big- and small-picture critiques are my standard.

When you hire me, you can focus on writing your story and connecting with your readers. I’ll help you transform your writing into its final, beautiful self.

Whether you need a big-picture developmental edit, smoother sentences through a line edit, stellar grammar with a copyedit, story development through a beta read, a final proofread, or marketing copy, I have you covered!

My editing clients have loved my work. Here’s what one client had to say:

“Look, I’m not going to pretend that I was happy to see Deon Ashleigh’s notes. However, I read through what she had written and came away with the impression that Deon looked over my manuscript with great care, exceptional insight, and humor!

Deon’s worth can be measured in gold. She is truly the best developmental editor I have ever had, and I wouldn’t dream of giving my next manuscript to anyone else. Right now, though, I’m going to go lick my wounds!

Deon is a consummate professional with a keen eye, and it’s ultimately better to hear these things from an editor than from a reviewer. Look no further.”

HOW DID I GET STARTED?

I began writing during Nanowrimo of 2012. In those fun, mind-frazzling, boundary-pushing 30 days, I found one of my callings in life—expressing my inner self through words.

Nowadays, I write science fiction, especially the dystopian variety. Showing the undying hope in a world that’s dying is endlessly fascinating to me. And yet, while I love writing about worlds gone wrong, my ultimate goal in life is to make the world better.

So, becoming an editor was the perfect choice.

I can spend my days helping authors create more worlds, reach more readers, and spread more empathy.
