Her process is easy to understand, incredibly practical, and has taught me so much about craft. I’d easily pay her double what she charges (but don’t tell her that).
I chose Alida to edit my thriller Chaos for a number of reasons—not least of which were her flexible, customizable packages and reasonable rates. But I’ll use her again in the future for her professionalism, timeliness, superb advice, and editing skill. She’ll put a fine shine on your manuscript and will make sure it’s crackling with tension and electricity. You can also count on her to be every bit as merciless as your work requires—she’ll slay the darlings that need killing to keep your plot rocketing forward.
Thanks to Alida, my manuscript is 15,000 words lighter and is infinitely better than when I first sent it to her. Whether you need a polish, a copy or content edit, continuity check, or a sounding board to brainstorm or flesh out ideas, you can’t go wrong with Word Essential. Alida is beyond excellent and I look forward to working with her on future projects.
Having published several novels, she completely understands the hurdles facing indie authors. I have worked with Alida for over two years, and highly recommend her to anyone who wants to produce an outstanding novel.
