What my clients are saying!

Each editing service can come with a free sample edit. Line, copy and proofreading all come with two passes of editing before I hand it back to you. I’ll send over a contract that outlines you keeping your rights to the work, and my anti AI promise. I offer clear communication via email, with responses within 24-48 hours.

After working together, you have two weeks to email me your questions for continued support.

What is it like to work with me?
