Introduction
I love the English language! Most of all I enjoy helping others to make their writing accurate, readable, and a little spunky (if you're into that sort of thing). I have a bachelor's degree in Creative Writing and 3 years of experience working as a Communications Assistant for an international non-profit. I offer proofreading, beta reading, developmental editing, and in-depth copy editing for a variety of genres. I've worked on manuscripts from fantasy to memoir to self-help to mystery. I'm efficient and motivated! I'm looking forward to working with you and fulfilling all your editing needs.

She is great to work with. My script after her edits read so much better. She's punctual, and very fairly priced. A great value. I'm definitely using her again for future projects.

Pros: Alyssa was very kind, sweet, and very responsive. Her services were affordable compared to others. She kept up on her deadlines, was SUPER flexible with my schedule, and gave me thorough feedback. While I’m KNOW after re-reading through I could have found some things missed, I feel like that’s the whole point of having an editor. I self-published my book in full confidence that between my set of eyes and hers, there would be no errors. There is a GIANT typo on page 7 of my book, as well as some very clear punctuation errors. If you write, you know, after re-reading your own so many times your eyes start to blur. While I was able to edit these errors on KDP, I’m embarrassed for the copies that went out with errors that were missed. Overall, if you’re just starting out writing professionally or you write as a hobby, I do 100% recommend Alyssa’s services. I, unfortunately, will likely look elsewhere as I try to pursue this as my career with future books.

I'm sorry you were dissatisfied. I compared the KDP version to the one I edited, and the giant mistake you referenced was not mine. This might have happened when uploading to KDP or in the process of accepting/denying edits. I'm not sure if that's also what happened with the other errors you mentioned or if they were in fact my mistake. I do not claim to be perfect and would love to improve my skills if you're open to discussing the errors you found.

My experience working with Alyssa has been FABULOUS! She is so talented, insightful and just brilliant. Reading through her edits was a joy to see my ideas more clearly expressed, while still sounding like me. She was thoughtful, smart, plucky and strong in her edits. truly a great editor and professional. She added so much to my work. Cannot say enough good about her work.
