email: troseg18@gmail.com
💼 I’m Toni Gelardi, the owner, co‑founder, and lead editor of Lov3 Books ETC, where I provide professional editing, proofreading, and fact‑checking services for authors, publishers, and creative teams. While Ki Lov3 writes for our company as one of our featured authors, I am the editorial backbone — the person who ensures every manuscript, script, and publication meets a polished, professional, and publication‑ready standard.
My editorial style is precise, cinematic, and voice‑preserving. I specialize in fiction — especially sci‑fi, dystopian, apocalyptic, thriller, and speculative genres — but I also edit nonfiction, self‑help, and narrative content. Clients trust me because I combine industry‑level editorial skill with the instincts of a creative director who understands story, structure, and reader engagement.
