The Write Word

“A Great Worker.”

I struggle with tense in my novel and Gemma found all the inconsistencies. She also pointed out where I was overly using words, tightened up long sentences, pointed out plot inconsistencies and even suggested a useful structural edit. Gemma is also a pleasure to work with, fast and kept to the agreed upon deadline.

Gemma not only edited my novel but also helped me elevate it to a new level. She is precise, with a sharp eye and logical approach, tactfully pointing out errors and inconsistencies without making you feel embarrassed. She kindly showed me where I needed to explain things or build a scene better. She gave me great, detailed tips on how to improve certain parts of my story, and my writing in general. She also helped with many sentences to achieve a better word flow. Working with Gemma was a wonderful experience.

Gemma edited a book I wrote and she was wonderful to work with! She has a great eye for detail and gives thoughtful feed back!

I exchanged a beta read of the first part of my novel for an honest review. Gemma contacted me part way through the reading to ask if it would be okay if she added some editing comments. I was blown away that she would go above and beyond the agreed upon workload. The critique was filled with a wonderful balance of praise and suggestions so that I felt encouraged in my journey but also challenged to do better with my writing. Her comments were honest and fair, and offered not only an explanation as to why she was adding critique in that spot, but also suggestions for me to consider to reiterate her point as well as help me see how it could be better. All the suggestions were done so that I could easily accept or reject, and often times I rewrote the section in my own words, knowing what she had meant. I can not recommend Gemma enough!
