TESTIMONIALS

“Finishing my first novel was exhilarating. Figuring out what to do next?  Perplexing. Maybe a little terrifying. There is no roadmap for first-time novelists—at least not one that is particularly easy to follow. I came across Alexa and Luna Imprints Author Services when I was researching possible editing avenues and knew in my bones that she was the editor for me. Alexa is friendly and approachable, incredibly professional and organized, and, by the end of our time working together, she knew my story better than I did. Alexa took all of my rookie-writer oversights and smoothed them out. Her constructive feedback was peppered with lots of praise and many compliments for my characters and plot, and I finished our time working together feeling exhilarated again. Alexa is insightful and experienced, and it is clear that she invests a great deal of time and effort in her writers. Without question, Alexa will be my go-to for any editing services I need in the future.”

“Luna Imprints Author Services has built a great reputation with me by protecting my reputation with my readers. Alexa not only catches errors, omissions, redundancies, and duplications in the book she is currently proofreading, but she also crosschecked the latest one against its prequel and made sure that consistency was maintained across the series. In a side discussion we were having about scheduling, she made it clear that she places quality at the top of her priority queue. Me too. That’s why Alexa is the proofreader for the Alcubierre Metric Connection novels.”

“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.”

“Alexa makes the entire editing process comfortable. She’s like a long lost friend with invaluable editing expertise. Pricing is very competitive! I had reached out to various editing companies and overall Luna Imprints was the best option based on pricing, offerings, personality, & knowledge. Alexa helped me to improve my novel to a degree I never thought possible. I’m so thrilled with Alexa’s kindness, knowledge, and patience and I plan to hire Luna Imprints again for my next novel. No matter what level of editing you require, you need Alexa and her team!”

“Alexa is an editorial genius. She helped me transform my novel into a story I can be proud of. The great thing about Alexa is she tells you when you’ve done something well and provides constructive feedback when necessary. That’s the sign of a brilliant editor. I will definitely be returning to Alexa for future books in the series, and I highly recommend her services for any author looking to improve their manuscript and their craft.”

“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!”

“Alexa is one of the best beta readers I’ve ever worked with. Her comments are honest, in-depth, and helpful. I cannot recommend Alexa enough. She’s incredibly talented and knowledgeable and has frequently picked up on things I hadn’t even noticed! Not only that, but she helps me come up with ways to fix the issues that she raises. What she suggests never feels dictatorial either; it’s a two-way conversation where we bounce off each other to solve the problem. Any writer looking to take their book from ‘eh’ to ‘AMAZING’ should get Alexa’s help immediately.”
