The Pencil Test

Author’s review

In both edits I received, my editor's notes have been exact and thorough. I appreciate the timeliness of her edits. Also, I appreciate the ease of submission.

I hired FirstEditing on a whim, after searching for editors via the internet. The pricing is competitive and the quality of service is comparable to editors inside of the industry (I have published with a major publishing company, worked with an agent, and publicists).

I will continue to use First Editing for my independent projects. I think the service is great.

Thanks,

James "Jay" Guilford
