Manuscript copy-editing service for fiction novel
Throughout the editorial process, Alex's services and professionalism were impeccable. The Demon's Dollhouse was my first novel, and the advice she gave me was both invaluable and encouraging. Her swift replies, and turnaround of my manuscript, as well as her friendly manner, made using her service a pleasure, and I would highly recommend her as an editor.

Book editing services for children’s book
I'm a novice writer and although I know I have a good imagination I knew I needed an editing service before I could submit my manuscript. I was looking for a local editor who I could continue to work with on future books, 'not a large corporation where you're not sure who you'll get'. I definitely made the right decision choosing Alex, I received a professional and speedy service explaining all changes made to my manuscript along with comments on where certain words or content could be improved. I found this extremely helpful. An excellent service was provided and I would definitely recommend Alex's book editing service to anyone needing help ensuring their book reads well.

How I Work
- After I receive the manuscript in a Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx file), I apply the copy-editing or proofreading amendments using the Track Changes function.
- Please see my Proofreading Service page to see an example of a Microsoft Word document amended using Tracked Changes.
- You can see all the changes, including deletions, insertions and formatting corrections, whilst maintaining the original document. This allows you to see the amendments before accepting them. Check out this Microsoft support article on accepting/rejecting amendments in Word.
- I also provide explanations of the changes I have made and offer suggestions using the comment boxes. Any areas to amend prior to publication will also be detailed in the comment boxes.
- As well as returning the file which shows all the changes, I also provide a final version with all the amendments incorporated and any comments removed so you can use this 'clean' version to amend as appropriate, self-publish or send to publishers/literary agents.
