“I would work with her again in a heart beat…

“Helen is amazing! I was very worried about sending off my work to someone else, who may not have the same care or concern about the story, but Helen is absolutely amazing and I would work with her again in a heart beat!

She is professional, timely, organized, obviously good at everything spelling and grammar related , but most of all she made me think about my story and the characters in ways I hadn't! She gave me a different perspective and helped pull out the best in my story, and I'm very grateful I've been able to work with her!”

— Birdy Grace, Author

“An incredibly gifted and efficient editor…

“Excellent in her attention to detail…

“Helen has performed Beta and Omega reading for us at Grim Oak Press on many projects over the last several years. Helen is excellent in her attention to detail, catching many errors that others have overlooked. She performs the task at hand in a very timely manner and is meticulous in her work. We highly recommend Helen!"

— Becky Lawson, Grim Oak Press

“She has a good eye…

“I really needed that extra touch for my novel and Helen was able to provide it and then some! It is super clear that she has a good eye for what she does. It made giving up my book baby really comfortable and she provided quick, clear feedback that I could easily implement.

Working with me right the way through the process saved me a lot of headache and heartache, and I felt my own opinions were respected. Definitely reach out to Edit Co. if you're in need of an editor.”

— Rose Ariane, Author

“Her feedback was beyond helpful…

“I worked with Helen in my 94k manuscript. She was invaluable during the editing process. She was quick and thorough and her feedback was beyond helpful. She was everything you want in a reader and I will for sure be using her in any manuscript I write in the future!

Helen, thank you again for your help with this. You have no idea how much I value your feedback. I will recommend you to anyone who needs a professional set of eyes to review their writing.”

— Kimberley Gupta, Author

“I would highly recommend this service…

“Helen and Edit Co. proofed an academic article that I have been working on for more than a year. Despite the hours I spent reading and rereading it, she was able to make dozens of edits, suggestions and improvement that made it read so much better. Compared to the hundreds of hours work that you put into a written piece, the small additional cost is minor and makes a big difference.

Although style might not be the most important factor in academic publications, it is important that you make a good impression when submitting to a leading journal. I'm sure this applies to every type of submission. She specialises in fiction and other types of creating writing, but her adaptable skills are very obvious. I would highly recommend this service.”

— Professor Nick Medland, Senior Researcher, University of New South Wales

“Never met a person more patient…

“I have never met a person more patient and willing to listen to my ramblings than Helen. She actually wants to know how I am going and willing to work for my dream of publishing. 5 Stars.”

— Tenille Seow, Author

Turns the work around in a timely manner

“I have used Helen to proofread and edit reports and academic articles for publication. These items are mainly written by researchers and academics, Helen ensures the grammar and sentence flow is correct, tables are labelled correctly, and the structure of the writing is logical and coherent.

Helen turns the work around in a timely manner and always to the agreed deadline. I can thoroughly recommend Helen, she is easy to work with , communicates well and is very professional in her approach.”

“Able to improve the readability of my written work immensely…

“I can not speak highly enough of the work Helen did on my Masters Thesis in 2023. She was able to improve the readability of my written work immensely! Throughout the entire process the deadlines we had set were met consistently and most of the time a head of schedule. My work has been accepted with no need for amendments which couldn’t have been done without Helen’s efforts. Would definitely recommend her service, If I was willing to continue through with a doctorate degree I would have no hesitation in recruiting Helen to assist in the editing process. 10/10.”

— Corrigan Millar, University of Otago

“Immediately professional, and very responsive…

“I engaged Helen to edit and proofread my full length novel. I found her immediately professional, and very responsive to all my emails and questions. She kept strictly to the timeline she gave me, and the edits were clearly marked with full accompanying comments. She followed up the proofread with a Skype meeting, which was useful and put the personal touch on the whole experience. I found she was always willing to discuss any areas of concern.”

— Lincoln Jacques, Author
