Editing & Proofreading

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of working with Emily Boykin, owner of Em and a Pen, and I must say that it was truly an amazing experience. She is easy to talk to, courteous, professional and prompt. Throughout the entire process, she kept me updated and asked if I had questions or concerns that needed to be addressed, if I did, she responded in a timely manner. More importantly, I feel like my work remained my own; her changes did not take away anything from my story. If you are looking for a great, personable editor to get your work of art in top shape, look no further than Em and a Pen; you will be in great hands for sure! I could not have selected a better editor for my book.

I am a first time author and was unlucky with the first editor I hired for my book. The unsatisfactory job cost me an incomplete editing job and need to spend additional money to hire another editor. I procrastinated in seeking the right editor to complete my project due to my anxiety to find the right editor for me. I am thrilled to state that I struck gold with finding Emily Boykin. She is everything that I hoped for. Emily’s enthusiasm for my book, her passion for editing, exceptional editing expertise, professionalism, and timely verbal and social media communications throughout the duration of the project, resulted in a completed job precisely at the estimated time that she promised. Emily’s astute editorial changes was precisely what I needed to make my stories perfect. I also think it is important to state that it was a joy to work with Emily’s wonderful personality!

I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Em and a Pen. As I await my presentation day I can only believe that the quality and value of her work will be confirmed. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to receive advise and services from such an awesome person!
