Working with Melanie was transformative. She not only refined my writing but elevated it to a level I hadn’t imagined possible.
Initially, I was hesitant about how well an editor could truly capture my vision and voice. From our first interaction, her deep knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm for my project put me at ease. Melanie made it clear that she was fully invested in bringing out the best in my work. And she did!

What My Clients Say:

As this was my first endeavor into book writing, I was unfamiliar with the process. Melanie walked me through the process every step of the way, providing constant feedback and guidance on next steps. […] During each step she discussed all options and the “why” for each decision. I truly learned a great deal from this process with Melanie and could not be happier with the final products.

I highly recommend Melanie. She was professional, fast, and very helpful. I will definitely use her services again.

[Melanie] has helped me with my academic English as a non-native English speaker. […]She would draw my attention to the big issues like the essay format as well as the focus and the flow of my writing. Of course, her meticulous scholarship would help me re-vision my ‘ignored’ grammatical infelicities and wrong usage. I have been happy with her copy-editing service and would recommend her to those who are keen to have one copy-editor like her.
