Michelle Montebello, Australian Author, Winner at the 2020 Australian Romance Readers Awards for ‘The Lost Letters of Playfair Street”.

I first worked with Marcia when she offered to beta-read one of my manuscripts. Despite the manuscript already undergoing structural and copy editing, she surprised me with how many anomalies she discovered. She is thorough with exceptional attention to detail, and I instantly hired her for my next book! She has now worked on several of my novels (multi-genres) and never fails to surprise me with the inconsistencies and plot holes she finds. She is well-researched, extremely knowledgeable and very affordable. I will never let my work go out into the world without her keen eye reviewing it first. 

I recommend Marcia to any writer wanting a comprehensive edit at a reasonable price.

Jane Hinchey Australian Author

Marcia re-edited two of my existing urban fantasy series, released under my pen name Zahra Stone, (seven books in total) with a proof read/line edit plus edited out the sex scenes to fade to black/closed doors on all 7 books.

She did a brilliant job, was fast, accurate, and a pleasure to work with. I’d have no hesitation in recommending her or working with her again in the future.

When I first started writing my book, I had no idea where to start and how to go about doing it. I just started putting things in a word document. My weekly rhythm was whenever I was in transit I would write and I just kept scribbling away. It was only when Marcia was introduced, via another author, that I got structure and balance. Not only did she take over all the editorial work, she put in a lot of effort on rewriting the piece with my voice and in a tone/script that was easy to read and digest. She would ask all the smart questions about various things I was trying to articulate in the book, as if it was the end user asking me these questions after reading the book. She then not only helped me with the manuscript but also assisted with publishing, picking the right categories and formatting and pick the right name and cover paper. I have no reservations in referring her services to anyone. Oh, and our book hit Amazon bestseller and is still rated in the top 10 genres. Thank you for all the hard work. Moxin

Jennifer Scoullar, Australian Author

Marcia is my chief beta reader and I’m impressed with the insights she gives me. Marcia pushes authors to consider new angles, helps them identify flaws and continuity problems, and solidly strengthens their stories. She has an excellent instinct for structural editing and I can confidently recommend Marcia to any author in pursuit of literary success.
