Manuscript editorial services for fiction novel
Alex has allowed me to move to the next stage of the process of writing my novel. The novel now flows smoothly and literary issues of changes in character's description and plotline have been picked up, allowing me to feel content with the final piece of work. Thank you so much.
Jane Nobbs-Hobden
Book editorial services for contemporary romance novel
Alex is an expert in editing as well as all forms of critiquing the written word. She has high integrity and is creative. Her personable approach makes communication easy and pleasant. Alex strives to be of assistance where research is required by the author. I highly recommend Alex for all editing needs of any author. 
Cynthia Ainsworthe
Book editorial services for children's learning material
It's great to have worked with Alex, she is very helpful and the work was finished earlier before scheduled date which was perfect. Great job!
Maggie Jong
Book editing services for fiction novel
Alex provided a very thorough copy-editing service. She showed integrity and respect for my style and "writing voice" which remained intact throughout the many tweaks and improvements she made. She provided informative and helpful notes throughout the text. I appreciate that she also performed additional research, a level of attention that I didn't expect! Great job. As a first-time client of any professional editing service, I am very glad to have chosen Alex.

Book Editor for Hire​

It's difficult to notice mistakes in your own writing because you read what you expect to see. As a professional manuscript editor, my services ensure your material is error-free and written to the highest quality to stand out in today's competitive book market.​​
​Don’t let bad grammar, awkward phrasing and syntax (sentence structure), or a poor use of vocabulary deter potential readers. I will polish and perfect your writing so readers can enjoy your book and immerse themselves in your characters and story instead of mistakes, typos, weak writing or inconsistencies. They will want to read more, have a positive impression of your work and be more inclined to give a favourable review.

The majority of work I carry out for clients is the Copy-editing Service. As well as correcting grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors, for this service I ensure consistency, anglicise US text, restructure sentences to improve the flow, correct dialogue punctuation, remove repetition and redundant wording, and much more.

If you would like to hire my editorial services to ensure your book is ready for publication or submission to a literary agent/publisher, I offer competitively priced services. A timescale is discussed prior to work commencing, so the client has a set time frame for when the work will be delivered. I also provide regular updates to keep clients up to date with my progress together with details of the changes and amendments I am making.
​
The charges for my Ebook Formatting Service is a set rate with no hidden extras. For my Proofreading and Copy-editing services I charge per 1,000 words, not per mistake or by the hour.
