    Mary S is hands down the best editor I have worked with off of FiveR. She was my editor for my first book and I had no hesitation bringing her back for book 2's edit. She did an amazing and thorough job. She pushes the book to be better which showing a strong connection to your store. I will be repeating and highly recommend.

    Another great project working with Mary S. This is my second book working with her and she has always been my most trusted FiveR editor for my book. I highly recommend her service and will continue to utilize Mary for my own future projects.

    My memoir went in messy and came back clean. The edits were thoughtful she didn't change my voice, just removed the parts that were getting in the way of it. Formatting was spotless. I've already recommended her to two people in my writing group.
