"Wow! Alicia didn't just copyedit and proofread my book—she gave me peace of mind! Alicia is so thorough. I don't think I would have ever caught the things she did, even if I'd read my manuscript a hundred times. There is no doubt that she is highly educated in copyediting and proofreading. I also really loved that she included excerpts from The Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster to explain certain corrections she made, which in turn helped me learn as well. Alicia was amazing with consistency, making sure that spelling, punctuation, grammar, tense, and terms were consistent from the beginning of my manuscript to the end. I feel a new confidence in my book knowing that Alicia has edited it. I would absolutely recommend Alicia to anyone looking for a fantastic editor!"
— Jessica King, author of The Enemies’ Island
"As a debut indie author, I was nervous to ‘hire’ any type of editor. But with Alicia, I didn’t need to be. She communicated quickly, made sure I knew what I was getting, and worked quickly through my debut to make it the best that it could be. I also learned a ton because she explains so many of the corrections she suggests. She is so kind and truly enjoys what she does. I was so grateful to have another human combing through my manuscript rather than some AI bot. Not only did she copy edit and proofread on a quick timeline, she has also helped get the word out in support of my book. I can’t wait to work with her on book 2!!"
