As a first time author I was tentative about reaching out to a stranger to evaluate something so personal. Melanie made the experience incredible and exceeded all my expectations. Anyone who writes should appreciate the need to render the services of a professional to edit their work. Melanie is smart, punctual and very good at what she does. I would recommend her highly!

I’m a little disappointed, I wasn’t able to select all options that described Elegant Editing as it should be. Simply put, if you’re looking to get a beautifully done manuscript for a great price, fantastic assistance, overall quality, superb finished product timing, and just a great experience, then Elegant Editing is probably the best choice to pick for your manuscript.

I was very pleased with the work done. She was very good at clearing up my punctuation issues and finding those little tense problems that I never saw even after several reviews. I was very pleased and hope to be able to use Elegant Editing in the future.

I have been pondering in my ❤ for over twenty years to take a chance with my writing of songs and pomes. When I finally decide to take a chance on my maniusripts, I found the right person for me. I finally decide to take a chance and spend some money. Not so much for speeding the money, it was my pride. If you want something done, then do it. Thankyou Melanie, we need you. Jesus Christ will never let us down.
