Testimonial
Su Sokol provided thoughtful, focused, and constructive criticism on my manuscript. Xe is professional, encouraging, and a pleasure to work with…. Su is adept at structural editing as well as copy and line editing. Both my manuscript and my writing practice have benefitted immensely from Su’s assistance. I recommend xyr services wholeheartedly!
After having taken an amazing QWF workshop from Su, I asked xyr to edit a speculative fiction short story. The perceptive and thoughtful comments in xyr structural edit pointed out a way to strengthen a stylistic issue that I hadn’t even seen, and confirmed, in the gentlest way, a structural flaw that I had pretended wasn’t lurking. Su’s line edits were thorough and precise, again seeing things I’d missed. The whole process was smooth, timely and so very helpful!
