What other people have said
“Georgina Asfaw provided both the copyedit and proofread for my mystery thriller Ask for Mercy and I couldn’t be happier with her work. With her expert knowledge and appreciation for the genre, as well as her forensic eye for detail, she was the perfect editor. She picked up all my punctuation mistakes, continuity errors, and helped me to better orientate the reader through a number of complex flashback scenes. Efficient, prompt, and professional, I would recommend Georgina to any writer but particularly anyone writing in the crime genre.”
— James Benmore, author of the Dodger trilogy (Quercus)
