Manuscript Assessment and book copy-editing service
As a complete novice to editing I found making that first step to having my 1st-cut manuscript reviewed rather daunting. Having made that initial approach I am pleased with the prompt and helpful advice I have received from someone with obvious expertise in this field.
Alan Hynd
Copy-editing and ebook formatting service for fiction book
Alex has been absolutely fantastic. She's edited my debut chick lit book, provided regular updates, finished it earlier than expected, and provided great feedback. I will definitely be using her services in the future.
Linsey Cross
Copy-editing and book formatting for fiction book
Alex was extremely helpful all the way through the process. I would not hesitate to use her service again.
Moira Eve
Proofreading service for children's book
Alex carried out a final proofread of my manuscript. The level of detail was impressive and she turned the project around very quickly without losing quality. I will definitely use Alex's services for the sequel.
Dale Green
Manuscript assessment for non-fiction book
The service was perfect for what I need as a first-time novelist. I needed to know the faults as well as encouraging what's good about my work, and I get both from Alex. As a first-time writer, it is extremely difficult to gain help and assistance on what I would consider 'raw material' to gain an indicator of my ability to write. I initially sent two chapters to Alex and the critique she performed was extremely useful to the extent that it spurred me on further to make improvements to my writing skills.

Copy-editing and ebook formatting service for fiction novel
Alex was a true professional, she provided clear guidance and kept me updated regularly. She provided really good feedback on my work and with her fantastic editing skills I was able to step back and look at my book in a more readable format and make changes where I wouldn't have noticed before. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Any scepticism concerning the type of services on offer were at once overcome once I received Alex's manuscript critique. It was particularly enlightening to one, such as me, a totally novice writer.
Lionel Mendoza
Copy-editing and ebook formatting service for fiction novel
From the word go the full process in dealing with Alex for my editing requirements was so smooth. An informative website, a quick and efficient quoting procedure and excellent communications throughout. On my acceptance of the quotation, Alex kept me informed every step of the way regarding schedules and deadlines. Weekly updates during the actual editing were very useful and reassuring. The work Alex completed on my manuscript gave me a much more professional and polished finished product. I will not hesitate to use Alex for my next project or recommend her to any other existing or aspiring authors.

Copy-editing service 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.
