“Thanks to Nicholas, my novel received the final polish it needed to be ready for sale. During his proofread, he was able to correct small but important mistakes to improve the readability. He was a much-needed pair of fresh and educated eyes. Nicholas was very professional and helped walk me through the process of hiring a proofreader as a first-time author.”

“Working with Nick on Walking with Angels was a breeze. I’d been looking for a good editor for a long time, but it had become daunting; I need not have worried, he’s so refreshing to work with. And he’s so easy to talk to, which significantly eased my worries.”
