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.
