Sophie was very pleasant and professional. She made useful suggestions that improved the flow of my book. She was also flexible with my timeline. I would recommend her to those writing a self help book.
Rei G, September 2022
Sophie was absolutely wonderful and a sincere pleasure to work with. She was interested in my subject matter and had a keen eye for detail. Her price and work is hard to beat. She stayed in constant communication with me and challenged different areas that needed attention. I would work with Sophie for all of my future editorial needs. Please consider her as your editor too, you won't regret it!
Nolan Ethell, July 2022
Sophie was an incredible help! As a fellow nutritionist, her eye for editing nutritional information was key in ensuring my own book (on endometriosis, including the nutritional aspect) was spot on. She was professional, her suggestions and questions very helpful, and I'd highly recommend her services.

I'm new and I currently have very hectic life. She made the whole process easy, smooth and stress free. It was what I really needed. Very gentle and humble way talked to me. Identified key points to clarify more in organized and clear way. It was pleasure to working with her.
