Christie helped to get my story 'submission ready' and was a great help! She gave some helpful tips and fine-tuned my story to make it flow better. I would highly recommend Christie if you're looking for someone who has an eye for detail and who knows her craft.

Christie did great on the edits and gave valuable suggestions for my story. Thank you!

Christie gave incredibly insightful advice about how to revise and improve my story.
It was very clear to me that she is good at what she does and is also professional and efficient.
Not only did she perfect my grammar and punctuation but she also gave developmental advice which really helps my story to flow and read much better.
I'll won't hesitate to use Christie again.
Thanks Christie

Christie was just what I needed to take a fresh look at my work and suggest ways to strengthen it. Her suggested edits and ideas were spot on and insightful. I would recommend Christie to anyone who needs any editing work done, especially when it comes to rhyming verse, which my story is. All the work was completed within the stated time frame and returned quickly.
Thank you very much Chris...
