“Alexa goes by the title of editor, but I refer to her by something more apt: Magician. I send her a beta read draft with demographic info and a blurb, and she polishes it to a shiny gem and gives me the advice to form it into a precious product. Along with experience, she has the perspective of a reader, writer, editor, and socially aware person. When all of those are applied, no problem slips through the cracks. When she edits, she tries every possibility for you and not just whichever one she likes so you can make a choice. To top it all off, she types a 4000+ word critique and gives you an hour of video call to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly. Since Alexa is also a fan of great work, you leave every interaction feeling like a quality writer with a clear set of paths to showing that in your writing—you need only to pick the trails you like most.”
