Copy-editing service for science fiction novel
Efficient high quality service. After I read the edited manuscript, it was the first time following numerous reviews of previous drafts that it really felt complete. Well worth the investment to apply the final polish.

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.
