Expert Help and Advice

Basically, I wanted to say thank you for your expert help and advice, for seeing my characters in such a beautiful light and even mirroring them back to me.

I Am Absolutely Thrilled
I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional developmental editing services provided by Emma’s Edit. Emma’s keen insight, meticulous attention to detail, and invaluable suggestions enhanced my manuscript beyond my expectations. I particularly loved how Emma connected with the story and understood what needed to be done to make it better. Outstanding service!
Personal and Friendly Touch
Emma and Ellie are an amazing team! My first book went through developmental, line/copy, and proofreading with these wonderful ladies and I am thrilled to say the product they’ve helped me create has surpassed my expectations.
I particularly enjoyed working with Emma on the developmental edit. She brought a certain magic to the craft by offering both positive and constructive feedback that really cut down on the stress of making major changes to my work. It’s a tall order to find an editor with the level of skill and professionalism that Emma has, while also fostering that personal and friendly touch where it’s needed most.
Highly recommend Emma’s Edit, and I’ll be coming back with more manuscripts in the future.
Very Safe Hands
Emma was an absolute delight to work with! I had a copy edit completed by her for my debut novel, and was so impressed with her attention to detail. She picked up plot holes and inconsistencies that I’d brushed over what felt like a million times, and did it with grace. Her style is very approachable and solutions-orientated, but also honest. If something’s not working, she’ll let you know and help you reach the best outcome for your story. She communicates the process well and gives you the confidence you’re in very safe hands. I can’t wait to work with her again!
An Absolute Pleasure
Working with Emma’s Edit was an absolute pleasure. The whole process was simple and professional, and my novel came out the other side so much stronger. I particularly enjoyed the thorough explanations, personal touch, and humor Emma displayed throughout the process. My only hesitation in recommending her so highly is the worry that I’ll have to wait longer to use her for my next book.
Valuable and Thought-Provoking
Writing a great novel involves more than crafting a good plot, an engaging setting, and compelling characters. To truly take shape, a novel requires extensive polishing. In helping me through this process, Emma has demonstrated not only a high level of professionalism but also genuine enthusiasm and a proactive commitment to improvement. Her copyediting skills have elevated my manuscript to a new level, while her insights have been both valuable and thought-provoking. I’m deeply grateful for her work and cannot recommend her services highly enough. Thank you, Emma!
10 Out of 10, All the Way
Huge shout out to my amazing editor, Emma at Emma’s Edit. Her work is 10 out of 10, all the way. She took my very, very rough draft and patiently crafted it into a polished gem. I cannot believe how beautifully it turned out. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an editor. Top of the line professionalism, plus the added personal touch in her notes made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. Not as daunting as you might think going in. And she’s hilarious! She will have you busting a gut as you go through her wonderful comments. I cannot say enough nice things about her. Emma’s Edit is affordable as well. And believe me, she’s worth every cent. I’m so thankful I’ve found an editor I know I can depend on, and I don’t see myself looking for a new one ever again. Thanks Emma!
Efficient and Wonderfully Kind
Emma’s Edit is nothing short of professional and efficient. Emma and her wonderful colleague, Ellie, worked with me even through my ridiculous work schedule (55-75+ hours per week) and the fact we live an ocean apart. Her services are what made my project possible. It’s what took a passable collection of words and helped me shape and mold it into a story I’m proud to share with the world. Professional, efficient, and wonderfully kind, you could do no better than Emma’s Edit.
A Consummate Professional
As a new, unpublished writer the thought of searching for an editor unnerved me. I’d had excerpts reviewed in various Facebook groups, and found someone to edit my first novel, Witch Queen, but although they did a good job I didn’t really connect with them. However, after having two short stories accepted for Zasra Press’s Anthology, Blood and Betrayal, I was lucky enough to partner with Emma and thought, “Ah, this person gets my writing style!”
I reached out to her for a Developmental edit on Flowerface and was more than pleased with the result. I’m a chronic underexplainer, and even though my beta readers pointed out several places I needed to expand, it took Emma’s expertise for Flowerface to reach its full potential and become a fully fleshed-out story. Her favourite words were ‘conceptualise’, and ‘grounding’, lol. But her suggestions were always couched tactfully, and always made perfect sense.
If you’re looking for a consummate professional who’s also a joy with work with, look no further than Emma’s Edit. I’ve booked her for another three jobs this year, and look forward to doing so many times in the future.
Simply the Best
If you’re in the market for a developmental edit, look no further than Emma’s Edit. Emma graciously took a chance on me as a brand new author – when she certainly didn’t have to! Her work, advice, and dedication to improving my story is unparalleled by her truly kind demeanor and incredible work ethic. Beyond any doubt, my trilogy of contemporary romance novels would not have snagged a publishing contract without her insight and wisdom. She helped me improve my storytelling abilities, taught me the ins and outs of the genre, and had nothing but patience as I learned and evolved as a writer. I highly recommend Emma’s Edit to anyone and feel certain any type of editing service you choose will result in a positive experience. She’s simply the best!
