Introduction

You will receive a personal touch with the editing and writing geared to your special needs so that you can achieve your objectives and fulfill your dreams. Together, we will craft your book so that it can be published either commercially or self-published. I am not currently taking on any ghostwriting projects, but I will help you revise and clarify what you have written. Want to achieve your creative potential? Let's work together. For some, this means talking about your ideas and reviewing your outlines. For others, it includes looking at your first draft and providing suggestions that will help you organize and round out your ideas. You may need help ensuring your citations are accurate, follow the proper scholarly style guide, and can pass the IRB standards.

It was my first romance novel. I majored in science and English is not my first language. The work I bestowed on Alice was daunting considering all those factors. To add to that, it integrated deep Kalenjin cultural content. Alice was very tactical, respectful and exceptionally motivating. She encouraged me to dig deep and took me to places I would have never gone. Alice networked with colleagues to provide a comprehensive unfiltered, unbiased constructive feedback. She never complained how many times I contacted Alice or revisions made to the work. She was more interested on quality. I appreciated your unfailing attention to details particularly. Alice unwavering patience and attention to details removed all my worries of something falling through the cracks. Alice anticipated every contingency and still working with her on it to make the project successful. Her services are worth every cent spend. Believe me! Thanks to Alice’s selflessness and expertise, I will publish my first romance novel.

Alice did a wonderful job editing various personal stories I have written over the years. I wanted to put them all together in one book. All this was done with great dispatch. She even had some excellent suggestions to improve the writing. No question I would highly recommend her.

Write Books Right (WBR) was a great fit for me. The WBR quickly provided comprehensive editing for sentence structure, word choice, grammar, and style - just what I needed.

Alice went beyond what I expected and cheerfully helped me to say what I wanted clearly and with the correct format. She is extremely professional and worked hard to meet my time deadlines. I will use her editorial services again.

She doesn't even touch conspiracy books.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When we work together, there will be no surprises about the cost. Before we begin a project, we will discuss the way you will be billed, either by the hour or for the total project. We will have a contract that describes what we expect from each other. Repeat customers get a discount.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Each client is different and unique. For some individuals, we can begin working after an initial phone call and an exchange of e-mails, including signing a contract. For others, we might meet in person and discuss the project with a follow-up with e-mails that also includes a contract that explains what the timeline will be for the project and the costs involved.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have written seven of my own books, which have been commercially published. I have edited more than 200 other books. I have a master's degree in English and English education.
