I haven't had a chance to go over all her comments yet, but the ones I saw made sense, she explained her reasonings for her suggestion, and I was happy to accept.

Vicky helped me see my story in a new lens. I think i became story blind from staring at it too long, and she was the fresh set of eyes I needed. 10/10 would recommend!

Vicky exceeded my expectations! I couldn’t be happier with the work she did on my manuscript. Her insights were thoughtful, sharp, and incredibly helpful, and she truly helped elevate and transform my story. She was also professional, communicative, and delivered the work quickly.

Vicky has great attention to detail, which is what you need in an editor! There are so many grammatical edits, which is what I was looking for. She's also pointed out some fallacies in story logic here and there. Super impressed by how thorough this in and the quick turnaround time! Thank you so much Vicky!
