Everything was fantastic! I love that you explained the reasoning behind many of the minor edits and added substantive comments on organization as well. I went through all the edits and it’s so much more clean. Thanks for your hard work and clear communication … I’ll definitely be in touch next time I get around to putting out a book. You’ve been amazing.
Irene Chambers edited my novel, The Pilot: Fighter Planes and Paris, and substantially improved the manuscript. She has a keen sense of style, fantastic attention to detail, is an expert grammarian, and is a delight to work with. Obviously, she didn’t edit this paragraph or the previous sentence wouldn’t end with a preposition. She is diligent about fact checking and is very motivated to help authors succeed. I recommend her highly to polish any sort of text.
I thought I was the apex self-editor, but Irene showed me to be a fledgling. She re-inserted long-forgotten grammar and punctuation rules into my mental toolbox, along with a host of others I’d never seen before. Combine that knowledge with incredible diligence, commitment, and patience, and you have a great editor.
Thanks, Irene.
