I reached out to Ground Crew Editorial to perform a development edit on what will be my "proper" debut novel. I wished to make it as good as I could, ensuring character arcs flowed, the setting made sense to a new reader, and was a fun and compelling read. I had particular concerns about the journey of the main character and the intrigue plot line so I wanted a professional eye on to ensure both worked as intended.
Ariane is fantastic, kind, professional, and exceptionally talented. She identified problems and proposed actionable solutions. The in-line comments in particular were very helpful for tweaking the story at a scene level. Her attention to detail was also very impressive, spotting inconsistencies that were multiple chapters apart!
The one week check in was really helpful, particularly because I could hear Ariane's early concerns and then explain what I had been aiming to do with the story so that she could then edit the rest of it with that in mind. That then meant the feedback she ultimately gave was tailored to what I had been intending, rather than what I had actually written!
Working with Ground Crew Editorial has been a pleasure. I can highly recommend them to any authors, aspiring or otherwise. The skill and professionalism is fantastic. I worked directly with Ariane and she is friendly, understanding, and genuinely enjoys her work while being interested in helping authors. I most certainly intend to work with her again!
