Logan has done an excellent job editing my manuscript. They are professional and I highly recommend them.

— Lily K. Lee
Logan is a pleasure to work with. They enjoy what they do, and this shows in their general communication and in the final, detailed report and in-text comments. Logan was able to pin-point salient points to improve my third novel, a thriller, and not only that, they reliably kept me informed of their progress and met the deadline. They are a trustworthy professional I will certainly be contacting again for future projects.

​- Louise Worthington, Author 
One word that encapsulates Logan’s editing expertise is  "Outstanding!"
I sent them a manuscript of my poetry collection to edit and they provided me with a thorough text edit, going through each poem line by line and stanza by stanza. They raised excellent questions and offered helpful ideas about how to improve the content, rhyme and rhythm of the poetry. The critical analysis was of a top level and their grasp of literary tools regarding poetry writing impressed me greatly. In addition, they also provided a detailed report that was positive and balanced with excellent constructive ideas for each poem and comprehensive advice about a range of issues from the title of the book to the ordering and thematic organization of the collection.
Logan’s professionalism and the personal service they provided were impressive. They kept me updated regularly and the detail, care, and attention they gave me and my work was the best.
I would not hesitate to use them again for future projects.
 
-Azam Khan, Author
Logan’s able to look at a manuscript from everyone's point of view​ within the publishing sector; the agent, the editor, the reader, and, most importantly, the writer. They're able to satisfy everyone’s needs by mixing all these different perspectives and finding “common ground” solutions to the problems in manuscripts.

Working with Logan was a great decision. Their comments were on point and really thorough. My manuscript was quite long but they took the time to read it from beginning to end and went through each part carefully. They really helped me see what worked and what didn't work in my story and even offered possible solutions to improve my work. Even when criticizing something, they remained respectful and professional. Also, it was easy to communicate with them, to ask questions or to explain to them my concerns about my manuscript.  I'm really glad to have partnered with them and if I ever need help with my story, I would not hesitate to contact them once again.

FAQ

Q: Will you only edit horror content?
A: No! I'll edit any genre! Horror is certainly my specialty and I'd say I know the most about it versus other genres, but that's not to say that my work in non-horror manuscripts would be subpar. 
​
Q: Are you willing to meet writers in person or communicate over the phone?
A: Absolutely! Just send me an email first and we can work out the details of our communication and see what works best for us as a team.
