EXCEEDED ALL MY EXPECTATIONS
I enlisted Louise’s line- and copyediting services for my first book. The result exceeded all my expectations. It wasn’t just about correcting errors; the report, support and helpful information was second to none. She is a true professional and an extremely easy person to work with, and I would recommend her to anyone. As soon as I’ve finished my next book, I’ll be back.
