Why we’re here…

Humans make mistakes. When it comes to writing, people often make LOTS of mistakes. While some writers struggle with grammar, others find it difficult to control being too “wordy.” Still, some aren’t quite sure what to include…and what to leave out. Often, writers are so emotionally involved in their work that they fill pages with great ideas, but they fail to express their true intent with the best choice of words possible. First Editing specializes in fixing mistakes, clarifying language, and transforming
your drafts into intellectual masterpieces.

Client Reviews
“I appreciate the editing which caught several questions of why or made me support my research. It was a very helpful and professional editorial review.”
Cynthia Whitehouse, Texas, USA
“My editor gave great advice! He made a bunch of changes that made wordy sentences better without changing the tone of the character. I am still working through the changes, as some will affect the following books. I am excited to work with Michael on future projects.”
Taryn Kitchener, Canada
