Melanie is excellent to work with. She gives more than 100% She helped me with a children's book and did a wonderful job. She answered my questions in a timely manner and returned my work to me ahead of schedule. My next project will be articles in the field of Human Resources which I plan to ask for her editing expertise. I highly recommend Melanie of Elegant Editing.

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.
