What clients say
Angie was amazing to work with. Her eye for detail and knowledge of academic structure, referencing, and citations brought such clarity to our project. When you begin with solid competency and add a huge layer of excellence, there's such peace of mind for the whole process. —Jody S.
I think of myself as a good writer and wasn't sure I really needed an editor. After seeing her work, I was convinced she would not only help make my book read better, but that I would learn to be a better and clearer writer. That has proved to be true.
However, she did much more than fix grammar errors and unclear sentence structure. She made the manuscript look professional and worked with me throughout the whole process. If I ever do this again, I will definitely contact Angie. I highly recommend her services. —Brandon Spun, Author of On the Spiritual Disciplines: An Introduction to Christian Practice
