I also appreciated his feedback and how he provided direction to where and how I could potentially expand my story....

    Fantastic and honest review of my first novel by Daniel. Well thought out and complete comments with specific feedback that provides me areas to review, revise, and he also provided complimentary feedback on areas of the story that worked! Delivery was very fast and professional. I will use Daniel again for book #2 later this year.

    Excellent editor. Thoughtful, responsive, and easy to work with. He provided careful edits, explained his reasoning when needed, and respected the original voice of the story while improving the English. Highly recommended.
