    Libby's assignment was Developmental Editing of a 60k-word novel in rough draft form. I received two files from Libby, several days before the deadline.

    I was looking for someone to cast a critical eye over your work and comment on things like word choice, repetitions, redundancies, flow etc, and Libby delivered the goods! I got actionable feedback, and encouraging comments too. Libby is someone who reads your work properly and gives comments you can use. Thanks!

    Libby is extremely perceptive and understands the intent of the author. Her feedback is constructive and specific and keeps you writing in a positive way. The most important thing a reviewer can do is to help you find gaps in the manuscript and guide you gently on how to fix them. This is Libby's specialty. I highly recommend Libby as a reviewer.

    I'm very happy to have received feedback from Libby. You can tell she really tried to understand the story and provide meaningful feedback. I'm looking forward to making revisions and will be leaning heavily on Libby's insights. It is exactly the kind of feedback I need to improve.
