2016-17: Editing 'The Wall of Tears', plus cover art

"I met Cecily Paterson while trudging through the laundry list of possible editors you can find online, and I liked her right away. She was polite, professional and she had a book of her own that she was giving away for free at the time, which was all the proof of her work I needed. I read her work, and hired her on the spot. She was accommodating of my tight editorial budget and she helped with so many aspect of my work, including Cover Art that I was blown away. I will definitely be using her for my novel's sequels."

2016-17: Editing the unpublished manuscript, 'Shadow Ships'

“When I approached Cecily with my manuscript, I was rather overwhelmed at the thought of endeavouring to ready my book to face the world, yet tentatively hopeful that I had a story worth polishing. Her website promised hand-holding; I needed hand-holding. Working with Cecily has been more than wonderful. I had a story, now I am learning to write a novel. She quickly recognised that I only had a skeleton written, the rest of the story was stuck in my head. With skill, patience, honesty, and encouragement she is helping unleash it, and I am stunned at how much my writing has bettered under her wise guidance. Writing can be a lonely art, if you are looking for someone to come alongside you and help make your writing pop, I recommend Cecily thoroughly.”
