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.

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.
