“Paula is a highly skilled editor and we have worked together on anumber of books. I value working with Paula for her professionalism, efficiency and thoroughness. Paula is a delight to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending her services.”
Amber Rae, Author, USA
“This being the first book I had ever written, I was terrified to send it to an editor. Paula was amazing! She was prompt in answering all my questions and emails. She took the time to explain the whole editing process, which made it so much less daunting. Most of all she was patient and kind. I couldn't have asked for a better editor, or first-time experience. I hope we can work together again, and highly recommend her to anyone seeking editing services.”
Salem Cross, Author, USA
“I used Paula as a proofreader for both book one and book two in my brand new paranormal series and I could not be happier with the results! My manuscripts come back clean and the story flows beautifully. I appreciate her taking the time to read over my work, especially since there are steamy moments scattered throughout the novels. Her professionalism is greatly appreciated! She provides feedback, answers any questions I may have, and gets back to me in a timely manner. I highly recommend using Paula for any of your work! I will certainly continue to use her for future proofreading.”
Jeanne D’Août, Author, France
’“Paula is a wonderful editor, who has a very sharp mind and I recommend her wholeheartedly. I find it a delight to work with her, because she listens, and she quickly understands the storyline. She pays attention to much more than just the grammar, and that is such a relief. She has the ability to find the perfect word to describe a situation and always gives you choices when needed. For an author whose original language isn’t English, Paula is the editorial angel I had been looking for! She came to me when I needed her most, and I will always cherish this as a miracle.”
Lisa Brown, Author of ‘Dappled’, Australia
“I was fortunate enough to have Paula as both a beta reader and copy editor for my novel, Dappled. I knew very quickly that I had hired the right woman for the job and that my beloved book was in safe hands.
Paula was so warm and prompt in all our email interactions and had my edited book delivered back to me before the discussed deadlines.
She was so supportive of the story I was trying to tell and I could see from her suggestions, she knew my book’s characters almost as intuitively as I did. She provided great constructive feedback for minor changes I could make to further improve character development, while always ensuring the book completely maintained my author voice.
As an editor, I found her perceptive and sensitive with a great attention to detail.
Paula’s editing was of an excellent standard and she was a delight to work with throughout – I would not hesitate to recommend her as both a beta reader and editor.”
Vivek Sahota, Fantasy author, UK
“Working with Paula for my first book was very satisfying. She explained the whole process from developmental edit to copyedit to proofread. I was left feeling informed and confident about publishing my book. I found her to be brilliant and talented across all stages of the editing process. There was excellent communication when I had any questions and I learnt a lot. I would recommend Paula and “Word Nerd Copy” to authors I know and would definitely work with her again. Excellent job!”
A.J. Riding, Indie author, UK
“As a first time writer, I was worried about the whole editing process and had no idea what it entailed. Paula kindly answered all my questions and helped me from start to finish with my book. Great communication; she was always at hand to help. I will definitely go back to Paula in the future if I carry on writing.”
Brian J. Boyle, Indie author, Canada
“As a first time author I would not have finished my book without the patience and talent of Paula. She opened a new word world for me and I appreciated her expertise.”
Pamela Marshall, Indie author, UK
“Paula was an absolute pleasure to work with. As a first time writer, she was able to make each step of the editing process easy to understand. I cannot fault her professionalism, or her quality of work. Paula treated my manuscript with respect and I felt very safe working with her. I will certainly make Paula my first port of call for all of my future editing needs.”
Indie author, UK
“After scouring the internet for a copy-editor for my novel, I finally found Paula and I’m glad. She respected my deadline and was always available by email, answering all my queries almost instantly and keeping me in the loop. What I liked the best about her was the fact that she could understand the voice in my writing and managed to retain that after the edit. I’d more than recommend her and will definitely want her to copy-edit the sequel.”
Kay Farrell, Assistant Publisher, Sandstone Press
