I am a first-time author and needed help with proofreading. Not only did Kelly proofread the book for me as originally asked to but she shared advice and guidance too. Kelly works in a very collaborative way and was determined that the final output matched what I had been visualising. She is very open and easy to work with, and it has been a real pleasure. I'm very happy and will be returning for book two.
