You can hire us to coach you, no matter where you are in your writing career. Alexa has worked with best-selling authors in various genres and has a keen understanding of the publishing market, reader expectations, and what it's like to be starting as an author. Whether you want to pick her brain about early steps to success, talk out obstacles you've encountered, or brainstorm ideas for marketing, she can help! She also provides pre-editing coaching bundles if you want her help in structuring your story before its first edit.

What authors say about us

“Exceeded my expectations”

“I had been unhappy with my initial editor and was a bit wary going forward. But Alexa’s skills as an editor, with both developmental and copy editing, exceeded my expectations. She is thorough and meticulous, but also warm and encouraging, and generous with advice outside of the editing purview. I was so pleased with the result that I hired Alexa to edit my next two books in the series and recommended her to two fellow authors who subsequently hired her as well. I should add that Luna Imprints stays in line with standard rates for editing and proofreading, but provides (in my opinion) superior services, and offers great little perks such as online Zoom meetings to follow up with any questions or clarifications. I greatly appreciate the fact that Alexa is respectful of me as an author, always acknowledging that it is not her book, it is mine, and changes are ultimately up to me. This is not only reassuring, but it also makes it easier to accept the changes and recommendations that I need to make in order to make the book shine, even though I don’t always want to do so. All these facets add up to my recommendation of Alexa Padou as an outstanding editor!”
