It was worth the price to fine tune it.

Angela's fresh eye caught whatever I had missed. Including changing the gender a couple of times of a main character. And he wasn't one that would appreciate being called a "girlie man"! Typos, quotation marks, action suggestions to replace some passive sections, (the all important show don't tell), and some time line discrepancies were all caught by Angela. She also made some suggestions regarding character building.
All in all, it was not only a great help, it made the book so much more readable and enjoyable. We had a good laugh about a couple of Brit versus Yank English terms, and compromises were reached without bloodshed!
Thanks, Angela, for a terrific and thorough job!

Hi! I’m Nix Winter. *waves* I write Science-fiction, Fantasy, and Romantica. I’ve been writing independently for years. Angela worked over my novella ‘The Theater of Emerald Tears’ last year. Her suggestions were helpful and supportive. I’ve worked with good editors and bad, and if my publisher were to hire Angela, I’d be happy.

Several months ago I had the pleasure to work with Angela on a short story collection that she reviewed entitled Mind Monsters & Other Stories. I found Angela's suggestions helpful and professional in every respect. I would recommend her services without reservation to anyone in need of a great editor who knows how to zero in on fiction related problems. Sometimes as writers we are too close to a piece of work. Thus making crucial editing decisions can be difficult. With the assistance of Angela's objective & experienced guidance very well might make the difference between a rejection slip & acceptance letter from a publisher. Once again, I would not hesitate to use Angela's services in the future!
