    Allison was fantastic! She came highly recommended and delivered on all fronts. This was my first edit with a professional and she walked me through the entire process (even my novice questions). She communicated clearly on the dates and what to expect. I will definitely utilize Allison on my future books and works hands down.

    Allison line-edited my manuscript and I was very pleased with the result. I know that she read through my ms in detail because she gave me specific comments that could improve it in several instances and also she went beyond and flagged a couple of inconsistencies that had slipped through previous rounds...

    Allison has Beta read for me in a variety of genres and with this latest project, she was an enormous help as I had to make big shift that required big changes in characterization, pacing and tone. She delivered constructive, detailed, and actionable feedback a few days early!
