Novel Beta Reading and Editing $$$

Martin works quickly, and is efficient - I felt he reacted positively to my concerns and took time to concentrate on these issues. Martyn’s communications are clear but as a new writer I would have liked a little more comment on the flow of the manuscript, this having been said I would work with Martin as he is professional and skilled and ultimately delivers - thank you Martyn

Seeking US-based Editor for Non-Fiction $$

I handed Martyn a pretty messy historical autobiography that covered historical events as they unfolded; he was able to clean up all my rough work into a well ordered manuscript of chapters, hyperlinks to bibliography web links and incorporate pictures. Very happy indeed.
