testimonials
lj evans ; I highly trust Evyn to respect my voice and make sure my manuscript shines
Hy Tran ; The line edit was amazing! They were extremely thorough in their approach, and looked in-depth. It's nice to see a new perspective and see the issues that I missed.
Deanna Grey ; Would hands down recommend working with her! Finished my draft in a timely manner & did a wonderful job pointing out things I've never even considered. I've learned a lot from their editing.
Revan Badingham ; This is exactly what I was looking for. They combed through the manuscript, and picked apart pieces that were problematic either from a story or storytelling perspective. Their expertise stems from a strong experience and gut for wordplay.
Joan D'Arc ; They did a fantastic line edit of my novel, which included four-pages of comments and suggestions. The seller communicated exactly what they would do and delivered on that promise almost four days earlier than expected. She has sent me back to the drawing board with very useful, actionable suggestions.
