Manuscript Assessments, Editing & Proofreading
Before you consider publishing, your manuscript needs to be in the best shape possible. We provide professional book editing and proofreading services.
AJ Collins went above and beyond! AJ’s in-depth editing and advice was vital in bringing my manuscript up to a publishable standard. My novel, A Plan Unravelled, will be out in July and I can’t thank her enough for helping me to achieve this.”
Lia SpencerRomance Novel
I'm so happy to have worked with AJ. She was thorough and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond, highlighting a couple of small plot holes missed in the copy edit, and with helping me format my book for printing! I was so grateful for her patience!
Rania BattanyRomance novel
I learnt a lot from AJ when she edited my book Climbing the Coconut Tree. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the editing process was outstanding. She took the time to understand me and the goals for my project and gave me very sound and constructive advice throughout. I can’t thank her enough.
Sylvia KarakaltsasHistorical fiction
AJ’s work helped me produce my best work so far. I was constantly challenged by her to improve my manuscript, and her hard work and experience made me rise to the challenge. I agreed with ninety nine percent of her assessment. I feel it’s much better now. I look forward to working with her on a sequel.
