“I knew Arlene would do a good job, but I was blown away by just how good she was. An agent had identified some specific areas that could be cut from the first quarter of my novel and repurposed elsewhere, but I needed help with the ‘how.’ Concerned that cuts would shorten my already short book, I was also keen to know whether there were any areas that could benefit from new scenes. I thought I might be pushing the scope of her job description a bit—but no, Arlene was full of great ideas. She never pointed out a problem or lapse in logic without suggesting a solution. This edit was a collaborative experience that I walked away from energized, well equipped with a detailed substantive and copy edit, and ready to nail my rewrite. Don’t hesitate to hire Arlene; she’ll far surpass your expectations.”
