"From her own writing experience, Ginny brings a love of words
and empathy for her author. I found that she embraced and
enhanced my voice, allowing me to appreciate a richer version
of my own writing."

​​~ H. Peter Alesso

Polish provides luster, adds richness, and enhances beauty. It works on fingernails, shoes, furniture, your car. And on your words. When you write a book, you want to focus on the inspiration and the ideas, the emotional drive of your story. Your vision deserves an editor who brings the same passion to the project, with a side of objectivity.

A sample edit for your manuscript is available at no charge so you can see exactly how I will polish and refine your writing.
