Alex is highly respected in the writing community, and I had my mind set on working with her on my most recent release, The Girls of Songwood. From our initial conversation about the book, she was always pleasant and no-nonsense, making herself readily available, and offering great advice throughout the editing process. Alex helped me fine-tune and improve the quality of my book in many ways. Her feedback and edits were on point, and in sync with my vision. It was a pleasure to work with her.
