What authors, publishers, and clients have to say.
“For many years and many books, Alethea was my favourite editor at Harlequin. She improved my work immensely, always managing to retain the intrinsic character and voice of the manuscript. I trusted her suggestions and her editing implicitly, and considered her one of the best I'd ever worked with. I would hire her again in a heartbeat — as should anyone who values intelligence, imagination, and integrity.”
“I've had the privilege of having Alethea as my editor for several books. Each time she has brought invaluable insight and feedback and has always made my work stronger. She has an incredible talent for knowing how to improve my manuscript. Alethea is always a pleasure to work with and is professional, patient, and enthusiastic. I feel very fortunate to have Alethea as my editor!”
“Thank you again for the wonderful editing on Her Temporary Hero. I'm 100% sure that book wouldn't have finaled in the RITAs without the work you put into it.”
“I'm absolutely loving all these 5 star reviews for The Devil of Dunakin Castle. Thank you so very much for helping me make this book awesome. You are a wonderful editor! Your comments are right on, and you deliver them without crushing a writer's spirit. Each of your little 'great scene' or 'made me laugh' or 'love this!' comments make my day. So, I just wanted to thank you for being fabulous!”
“As a first time novelist, I was looking for truly honest feedback. The manuscript evaluation provided me with the tools to solidify my plot, shape character relationships and conflicts, and make for better pacing. Alethea also helped me to define my novel's genre and use it to make the story work more efficiently within it. I couldn't be more excited with the end result, and now have a manuscript I absolutely love.”
“I am extremely thankful to Alethea for editing my short story collection. Throughout the editing process, which she completed punctually and professionally, Alethea showed an active interest in improving my writing style as well as sharpening my content. Her advice enhanced the quality of my writing and gave me huge confidence about writing in English. Her experience as an editor shines in her work.”
“Thank you for your editorial brilliance!”
“Alethea's editing services are an absolute must! Professional and patient. She has a perfectionist's eyes, coupled with an ocean's worth of knowledge. Her attention to detail has given me a winning edge in this exceedingly competitive business. I am looking forward to working with Alethea for the entire Molly Wither series!”
“An efficient, creative professional, and very good to work with.”
“I became leery of hiring someone to edit my book after hearing horror stories about editors from other writers. This being my first book, I was concerned about losing my artistic identity to a hack. Alethea is the antithesis of a hack editor. Her knowledge of editing, keen eye for content flow, professional attitude, and excellent pricing has convinced me that she is the only person who will edit my future books.”
“If I do eventually realize my goal of becoming a published author, it will in no small part be due to the fact that I consulted with Alethea. She provides a beacon for the amateur writer who sometimes tends to think they are riding a lonely wave when in need of consulting an expert and sober voice about their manuscripts.”
“I take this opportunity to sincerely express my admiration for your editorial talent, your dedication, non-conformism, and unconventional creativity.”
“Thanks, Alethea, for your timely and professional services. If I ever need an editor for part II I'll be sure to be in touch.”
