Ciara edited a 30,000 word fantasy story for me. Her communication is level 10. She was very responsive, even when on vacation. She kept me informed on the status of the project. Her quality of work was top notch. I was highly impressed when I received a detailed editorial consisting of 9 pages of well organized notes. She even included links as a resource to improve my writing. She gets an even higher score on her reports. I look forward to working with her again. I highly recommend Ciara for your editing needs.

Ciara provided a first-class developmental edit in a most efficient and detailed manner. She really knows her stuff. Her overview addressed characters, plot, points of view issues, hooks, senses, scene setting, character goals, motivations, and conflicts, backgrounds, as well as pointing out repetitiveness and areas where it needs to go deeper. Wow! When one pays for editing, this is the kind of service one may not expect but fully deserves. She should get a sixth star for being so thorough! Highly recommended.
