“Alexa is a rare gem in the editing world. Trusting her with my YA fantasy novel felt like a welcomed hug throughout the process, which then turned into an incredibly encouraging push toward the publishing journey. Nearly one hundred thousand words were combed through with Alexa’s obvious talent and care. From the first meeting, she understood the meaning behind this book, and with remarkable integrity, carried that in her work. I am beyond grateful, and cannot wait for her to care for my future projects like a mother for a child, a surgeon for a heart, or a talented editor for a literary dream.”
Author of Agnes and the Locket of Secrets, a YA fantasy novel
Pricing is in US dollars and is subject to change. Manuscript length and complexity can lead to additional charges. We will always contact you before proceeding in such cases.
We do not accept manuscripts with a poor mastery of the English language. If you are unsure, please send us the first chapter of your work. Any misrepresentation of the complexity of your novel will lead to your order being cancelled.
Unless otherwise specified on your invoice, turnaround for the majority of our packages is 2-3 weeks. We can accommodate urgent requests, but there will be an additional rush fee. Please contact us in advance.
