I loved You More “His overall customer service was excellent, from our first conversation to his quick replies to my emails. He said he usually beats his deadlines and he lived up to that, returning it 2 weeks early which was a lifesaver for me! Most important, he brought my book to the next level and I had the ability to accept his editing changes or decline them. I think I only declined two as all others were spot on! I would definitely recommend him and use him, again, if I ever go down the path of writing another book. Bravo & Thank You!”

—Regina Rossi Valentine

I’m happy that my very first book came out of the gate swinging because of his expertise. I hope to utilize his services again when I finish with my next book and I will recommend him and the agency at large to my friends if they ever need a professional and friendly editor.”

—Jacob Merwin

“Kevin was an amazing asset for me. He took the rough areas of my manuscript and made them flow much better in terms of sentence structure, word choice, and useful suggestions. His proofreading made a remarkable difference
in my final manuscript. My only regret was that I didn’t use his services earlier. I give my highest recommendation to anyone publishing a book or novel.”
