Step by step from an initial read and critique, Alan provided me with thorough developmental editorial advice and in-depth line editing. Alan was able to spot nuances where there was a need to make sure a reader would not be left hanging or misled as the story unfolded. He pointed out where characters required further development or where the plot needed a small but critical revision. So often, I swear he knew the plot and characters even better than I did. I am so grateful for Alan’s superb editorial expertise, communication skills and passionate support. He was an integral contributor to my book. Without his work, I could not have moved the book to publication.
