Proofreading

Testimonials

I can thoroughly recommend SJ Banham’s editing services, and here’s why:

You write an 80,000 word story, you read and re-read it. You correct your spellings and punctuation. It’s finally finished and you sit back and marvel at your perfect creation. It is without doubt the greatest piece of writing ever, and the whole world just has to read it. But hold on, have you repeated yourself? It all makes sense to you but does it make sense to anyone else. Are the sentences too long, is the pacing off (have you written it’s when you should have written its). Might it be an idea to get someone else to read it? That’s where S J Banham comes in. Sarah is a professional editor, writing coach and all around nice person. I sent her my manuscript and within two weeks she had read it and made suggestions. Yes my pacing was off, some of my sentences were too long but it was not criticism, the comments were advice and suggestions, and praise where praise was due.

In short, it was like having your homework marked by a favourite teacher. TT
