"Michelle is an absolute wonderful editor and was such a pleasure to work with! She is attentive, communicative, and very knowledgeable when it comes to her craft. We researched hundreds or children’s book editors across different sites. We read hundreds of feedback and eventually we landed on Michelle. Let me just stop you right now, if what I just described sounds exactly like you, then go ahead and hire Michelle immediately. You will not be disappointed. This project of ours is very close to our hearts but we needed a lot of guidance with the first step of editing. Michelle held our hands through the process and educated us at the same time. She also finished the contract in less than a week! Which far exceeded our expectations on a timeframe. There is not a doubt in my mind when I say that we will be using Michelle for all future projects. Thank you for everything and joining us on this incredible journey! A+++ Upwork Worker. A++++ Editor. And A+++ as just an awesome human being!"

"Aw, that's so nice of you!!"
